I fucking hate wired's dramatic clickbait headlines so much lol. I'll believe it when I see it, because corporations love "the cloud". It's way cheaper than on prem, usually less downtime, and you can blame someone else when your system goes down.
Ok but local first p2p software doesn't rely on centralized servers. So it's not a huge deal if you don't have always on servers. Hell you can probably avoid servers all together.
I mean you'd still need servers right, local first p2p means your data is stored locally and elsewhere, which would also be a privacy nightmare for corporations.
Selective peering is a solution here some. Encryption by default and other "ZeroTrust" centered security modeling can make it more possible.
