One big problem with the current internet is that the DNS for the top level domains (like .com) is controlled by centralized entities, such as ICANN. This means that the entire internet can technically be taken offline very easily if ICANN was compromised.

The thing about censorship is that by the time you realize you need it, it might already be too late to do anything about it. That's why it's so important to establish censorship-resistant methods of communication BEFORE it is an issue.

The TLD here is .eth; who controls it. As far as I have understood, this service is selling kind of NFT. But the ultimate linkage with the real world is controlled by a single entity (company).

I don't get what is the benefit.
