We all should learn to use ipfs https://ipfs.io

NACHTJAGD ago

ipfs developers maintain a blacklist where any specific piece of content or entire sites can be blocked. Do not assume leftist will protect our speech.

Please explain.

The devs have created a FORCED blocklists so that people on the network can not download certain hashes (a video or a website, etc), they use the usual excuses. Thus they made it possible to censor IPFS. Because of pressure from State level adversaries and copyright rights groups, they unfortunately made the choice was to become a shittier version of Akamai and to abandon the censorship resistance of the system that is now falsely sold as censorship-resistant.

In IPFS it is easy to connect your IP address to a specific piece of content (kiddy pron) Ergo, people who do not use the blocklists could be made liable irrespective of whether they have willfully accessed that content or not. Hidding content on a website not visible to the user but still downloading to their cash could be a dirty trick. If your intent is to circumvent power structures like the State or specific platforms then TOR is the only highly safe solution, the States and specific industries will enforce their will upon IPFS which is in essence just a content data system and has ZERO anonymity.

So who will review the content claims and reports? Who will be authorized to add content hashes to the blocklist? How will counter notices be handled? How will different jurisdictions and conflicting laws be handled? Who will be liable for content that makes it past the filters? Who will pay for all this?

It also has blacklists you can voluntarily subscribe to, to block harmful or dangerous content like malware, rootkits and so forth, this is not that.
