I'm not sure I understand the way it works then.
I was assuming that if I run a node serving content, I do not deal with curating that content at all. I just offer my bandwidth/storage for compensation, like a CDN.
I don't want to be involved in curation or moderation at all, I just don't want to be held liable in case I inadvertently serve something that is illegal in my jurisdiction.
- MacsHeadroom 6y agoNodes don't serve content. They serve blocks of encrypted data to other nodes. Portals run a node AND piece together content from blocks received from many nodes THEN serve the content. You could also piece together content yourself by being your own portal. But running a node does not necessitate running a portal.
- incrudible 6y agoThanks for the explanation. I suppose that's close to how TOR nodes work from a liability standpoint.
