This is an important topic. I think that centralization is more of a risk in the digital realm, as single button presses can affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people in serious ways, especially as tech gets more entangled with all aspects of our lives, including very personal things.

I'm having trouble interpreting the section with this quote as anything other than the author being hugely misleading. According to Wikipedia, BitTorrent alone has at least 150 million users.
