The difference is completely in the eye of the beholder.

But a huge centralized curator that decides what everybody reads is something people feared for centuries. It does not really matter if its intention is benign.

Absolutely. And even more dangerous is the perception that there isn't a curator, when there really is one. That is the case with Facebook today.
