According to ChainCatcher and Cointelegraph,, Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), stated that if he were to build the Domain Name System (DNS) today, he would make it "more decentralized".
Tim Berners-Lee believes that the current high centralization of DNS, especially in top-level domain management, makes it vulnerable to censorship and control. For example, root domains are managed by the US non-profit organization ICANN, and the most authoritative servers are operated by a few institutions, which brings potential censorship and privacy issues.
