**Affirmed position.** Decentralization and web3 technologies presents the following source proposition: Today, the majority of the web’s content and user data is controlled by a few large tech companies. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Despite the obvious benefits of technology applications in corporate governance, the technological revolution has not yet produced wide acceptance of unmediated or decentralized corporate governance structures and practices. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
