We have a bunch of things like this. Torrents and data on the blockchain can't really be removed. The problem with a lot of uncensorable publishing is the average person does not want to be storing and distributing someone elses illegal content.
- hiq 6y agoBlockchain is way too hard to interact with even for moderately technical people. And the minute you create an interface that makes it easy, you become the single point of failure. I used to think BitTorrent was easy for the average computer user by now, but actually not so. You can't really delete a magnet link, but you can relatively easily take down the websites that host them, so it's not really relevant. It doesn't matter if the file still exists and there's a peer willing to distribute it if I cannot find it. In practice a lot of a popular torrent trackers (or magnet link indexers) manage to stay up for several years, but there's no technological guarantee for this.
