It's only a matter of time until somebody manages to implement an easily-monetizable decentrialized CMS website that synchs the content across multiple nodes. There would be a lot of technical challenges like syncing accounts and managing decentralized moderation, but still - between piracy and prostitution and the like, there's a lot of money to be made hosting illegal content, and if law-enforcement crushes it where they find it then the obvious solution will be to develop a system that's impossible to shut down because it mirrors itself to new hosts trivially.
- hendersoon 10y agoWhy bother with decentralization when you can just put it on a Tor hidden service and get complete anonymity and protection? Only problem is your users need to pay with Bitcoin, but criminals are becoming increasingly used to that, and only the pimps pay, not the johns.
- Pxtl 10y agoBecause Tor is too hard for clients. The web always wins. Or are Tor hidden services able to be exposed on the public internet?
- hendersoon 10y agoYou can actually get to them without Tor via gateways, but my expectation is that sex service providers would install a Tor app on their phones to contact the hidden service. At that point it's a matter of tapping the Onion Browser icon instead of Chrome/Safari and going to a different bookmark.
