Unfreedom campaign has yet again raised an issue of priority as people look incensed, with the diktat of CBFC, popularly known as Censor Board. The act of banning; the idea of restricting anything is in itself against the principle of Democracy! and look at the irony of the matter, worlds largest democracy is where banning is most frequent!

Decentralization is about spreading power, control, and decision-making across a network of participants instead of relying on one single central authority or intermediary. It involves removing or minimizing the role of middlemen, reducing censorship, enhancing transparency, and enabling peer-to-peer interactions. Traditionally, centralized systems are governed by a single authority or entity that controls and manages the system's operations. But decentralization transforms that, distributing power and authority across a whole network of participants, cutting out unnecessary intermediaries, and enabling greater autonomy and transparency. Now, let's take a look at a classic Web 2.0 example, those social media giants like Facebook and Twitter. In these platforms, users create and share content within a closed ecosystem controlled by a single entity. Sure, they've rocked the communication world and connected us all, but let's be real, they come with their fair share of problems.

Call it duplicity or difference in opinions, human beings even after advancing to becoming modern with every passing era; still tend to subdue ideas, stories and fables that either offends or does not match their ideology.
