tell me something is it unstoppable, by using bittorrent, webRTC and ipfs. this is a demonstration of a real world test of anti censorship through peer to peer.

  It is not unstoppable because cloudflare can ban any IPFS hash from being served via cloudflare-ipfs . For highly criminal content, like CP, law enforcement can get list of and go after servers hosting particular hash. If this service becomes even a little popular among fringe elements, Cloudflare, a public company, will shut it down in a blink of an eye.

    the ipfs hash is interchangeable with other ipfs public gateways, even if they shutdown cloudflare-ipfs, it can be viewed from another gateway.

      And you can make your own node and access the network through your own gateway.

Cloudflare is just acting as an ipfs gateway, right? So this could be used directly (via https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipfs-companion/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipfs-companio... ) or via any ipfs gateway?
- koreanguy 6y ago
  yes, any gateway can access it.
