What central authority pairs you with finding specific help today? When I need to find someone, I generally search online and connect myself with people I need to.

    Internet, of course!

    By central authority in this case I mean any list, forum, chat, collection etc. that gathers information like "A person X has competences Y and office in place Z with contact number Q". Whoever manages, control that list becomes effectively able to dictate who and why should be accessible to public.

    By saying that you search online you support Google, Bing or any other specific search algorithm as the global central authority

    Internet is the definition of a decentralised information sharing system, though. If you don't like your current search engine, you swap to another. If you can't find the information you need on one forum, you go to another. If you have the information more accurate and up to date than the list you find online, you update it (if it's in a wiki format) or contact its author to contribute.

    Centralisation of the internet is the direct result of authorities trying to impose their will on people who didn't consent to it.
