I will tell you something interesting.
The internet allows people in the US to find out what was going on in countries such as Nigeria. These were things that were not covered by the mainstream media (because much of the time the US government was financing the atrocities that were taking place).
With the internet we learned what people in other countries were experiencing. Here is where technology changes things. The next iteration, VR, will allow people to "feel" what others are experiencing.
Chew on that for a while and tell me if you want YouTube or Facebook controlling that?

I guess even decentralising the internet further will make these informations seemingly spread further than expected and people can get to experience it first hand what it Means to have information at one's beck and call. I'm imagining countries like China will try to silence it

All countries or entities that sees their power threatened by the free flow of information will resist it.
This is why it is imperative that we start the process of decentralizing as many layers of the Internet as we can. At every level, we see centralization which means a gatekeeper or a middle man controlling things.
