IPFS is not censorship resistant. If people start using it to subvert tyranny, politically neutral things like Nix's use of IPFS can get collaterally damaged in its infancy by state power.
- jFriedensreich 6y agoIts slightly more censorship resistant than S3 but yes, that seems to not have been on the list of problems they try to solve. On the other hand a list of all the systems that solve the problems in a half decent performant manner and are also censorship resistant would be 0 to my knowledge.
- PureParadigm 6y agoI think censorship resistance should be handled at a different abstraction layer. IPFS can focus on peer-to-peer immutable file sharing and some other tool can tunnel your traffic to avoid censorship. You could run IPFS over a VPN or something like that.
