Now that the nodes are getting so big and the difilculty of mining a block is so high that it has become impossible for a common citizen to find a block with his hardware, there are more and more large mining farms that lend their equipment to third parties via Cloud-Mining.

Is it not much easier for governments to control these farms and so have power over the network ?
