How do you stop people selling, for example, child pornography on this?
- jiggytom 8y agoHey, thanks for the great question! That's a really tough problem to solve completely at the protocol layer but we also hope that making a public entry on a blockchain might deter this type of use-case. In terms of how LBRY would deal with it, check out our FAQ at https://lbry.io/faq/content https://lbry.io/faq/content

- thom 8y agoYes but the fear would be a point at which someone asks you to remove the stuff and you say "well technically we can't" and they start looking for reasons to put you jail. Even if you're losing the game of whackamole, you at least need to be seen whacking moles.
- seanyesmunt 8y agoWe can remove data from our official apps (or at least hide it). We do this for dmca requests. But if someone is hosting it, anyone can access it through the command line, or if they take our app code and remove a couple lines. Another way to look at it is, `http` isn't responsible for preventing illegal content to be shared, `lbry` is the same.
