  • 专家表示,互联网治理依赖于传统的中心化机构,这些机构现在可能存在结构性漏洞
  • 倡导者主张将核心互联网标识符的控制权转向去中心化,但法律和协调方面的挑战仍然存在

“真正的去中心化不是流行语,而是必要的演变。这意味着将核心标识符的控制权从私人或半私人机构转向网络和用户拥有真实、可执行的所有权和治理权的模式。”——Lu Heng,Cloud Innovation 首席执行官、LARUS Ltd 首席执行官、LARUS Foundation 创始人。

评论警告:互联网治理仍过于中心化,并容易被控制

2025年9月17日,评论员 Lu Heng发表了一篇详细分析,认为当前全球互联网治理框架仍然过于中心化,容易被控制。这篇文章题为《Decentralising the Internet’s Governance》(去中心化互联网治理),重点指出了对基础互联网标识符(如数字和名称)治理方式的担忧,这些标识符通过被称为区域互联网注册机构(RIR)的传统结构进行管理。

据Lu Heng称,这些机构是在互联网早期创建的,当时技术合作是非正式的,但现在它们代表了单方面控制的节点,容易受到不透明的决策和政治压力的影响。 另见: AFRINIC危机:当接管人成为法律风险.

Lu Heng认为,真正的去中心化不仅仅是一句口号;它涉及将核心资源的控制权转移到网络和用户行使可强制执行治理权的系统,而不是依赖于少数私人或半私人组织。 另见: 会计师 Gowtamsingh Dabee 掌管非洲互联网.

他认为,去中心化不应放弃协调或稳定性,而是应明确区分行政职能与执行权力,在需要时嵌入健全的法律框架,并构建能够容纳全球互联网利益相关方多样性的结构。 另见: AfriNIC 董事会:治理非洲互联网的八人.

这篇评论发表之际,正值关于如何平衡全球互操作性、主权以及互联网治理中的多利益相关方参与的更广泛辩论——这些议题在联合国互联网治理论坛和互联网名称与数字地址分配机构(ICANN)等国际论坛上一直备受关注。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.

为何去中心化互联网治理可能重塑核心在线基础设施的控制权

互联网治理决定了谁控制网络的技术基础,以及影响数十亿用户的政策决策如何制定。目前,五个RIR负责分配IP地址等关键互联网资源,Heng和其他人认为,在快速技术变革和地缘政治紧张加剧的时代,这种模式可能已经过时。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.

去中心化的支持者指出区块链和分布式账本系统等技术趋势,这些技术已经将其他互联网层(如应用和身份)转向更分布式的模型。这些技术表明可能存在的替代方案,即控制权不集中在少数中央机构手中。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·费尔南德斯.

然而,推动变革也引发了实际问题。核心标识符治理的去中心化涉及复杂的法律、技术和运营挑战,并且在如何平衡去中心化与全球稳定性和互操作性需求方面尚未达成共识。当前涉及政府、私营部门和民间社会的多利益相关方模式在包容性和公平代表性方面面临困难,特别是对于发展中经济体而言。 另见: 美国以20亿美元芯片法案补贴入股九家量子计算公司.

此外,任何脱离RIR等现有机构的转变都可能破坏现有的协调机制,可能影响从域名解析到互联网安全协议的一切。批评者可能会问,去中心化的替代方案是否足够成熟,能够在不引入不一致性或碎片化的情况下管理这些关键功能。 另见: Lam将AI嵌入芯片制造工艺控制.

从本质上讲,关于治理去中心化的辩论反映了互联网应如何发展的更广泛紧张关系——是走向更大的社区赋权和分布式控制,还是通过稳定的全球框架来平衡参与与运营可靠性。
