This is also an issue for major blockchains in deployment now, specifically Bitcoin. There is the potential for illegal content, or links to it, to be stacked on BTC’s blockchain [0], and so anyone who holds that blockchain would also possess it.
I believe this would also be an issue for things like Filecoin/IPFS but I’m not sure if the liability issues are different or nuanced.
