“Now, over a decade later, Twitter is reversing course. The company is pursuing the sort of decentralization Mr. \[Blaine\] Cook championed. It is funding an independent effort to build a so-called open protocol for social media. It is also weaving cryptocurrency into its app, and opening up to developers who want to build custom features for Twitter.” Quite a lovely piece about decentralization.
