Definitely worth checking out https://ipfs.io/ https://ipfs.io/. Even for those who don't or can't run IPFS peers on their own devices, IPFS gateways can fill much of the same purpose you listed above. Additionally, the same content should be viewable through _any_ gateway. Meaning if a Gateway provider ever amazoned you, you simply make the requests through a new gateway.
- MichaelMoser123 7y agoYes, but restrictive governments will have no problem with blocking access to the ipfs.io domain via DNS and by blocking its IP addresses, whereas using the same method for blocking all access to AWS or google cloud is too costly as it will result in collateral damage at home. (Well China can block access to AWS located outside of China because there are AWS Regions in China)
- zanny 7y agoWith ipfs anyone can operate an http relay to access the network from any arbitrary IP and/or distribute endpoint IPs to populate the daemons dht if run locally.
