Stance influences or even determines individual emotions and judgments. For example, after an incident of theft or fraud occurs, our starting point is to help the victim minimize losses and recover damages in a timely manner. We may unite as many resources as possible to respond, even if this approach appears very centralized.
I respect those who defend the spirit of decentralization, provided that if this person is stolen from, they do not have the thought or action to use centralized power.
Evil doers break the rules first, and you still help them think? Do you have to confuse yourself and others with hypocrisy?
What is the correct approach? If you truly want to defend the spirit of decentralization in a system, you cannot just shout 'don't be evil,' but should design it so that it 'can't be evil.' If a security incident really occurs, no one should be able to use centralized power to intervene, or the cost of doing so should be prohibitively high. Therefore, even if there is a thought of using centralized power, it cannot be executed.
As I said, this is a dark forest; learn more about security knowledge to arm yourself, at least to raise the threshold for being hacked.
