So, what I don't understand: Why would companys use it? For example

"Twitter can censor any account or tweet" (its not censorship, but that is another can of worms). vs "Web3 tweets would be uncensorable".

Why should Twitter give up control? Why would they want someone to use their platform to publish stuff they can't delete or hide (for example, a live-stream of someone shooting up a mosque)?

Why would any of the big players get in bed with web3 content? they would be turned into a bitpipe?



This is the big question most "web3" proponents miss or ignore. They want a decentralized internet to combat the power of FAANG, governments, etc. But those powers will _never_ allow a technology to succeed if it meaningfully threatens their power.
