It's not censorship-resistant. They have technical solutions in place to directly ban/blacklist certain content hashes which can get served to the servers directly by national security agencies. A dystopian heaven. IPFS had a really cool idea at the start but they quickly bent under legal pressure without even trying to fight back. They have lost all legitimacy in the circles of the people who want to distribute potentially sensitive data that's only deemed illegal by corporate interests (like scientific papers). --- And as the sibling poster alluded to, the network can be extremely slow. Even for well-known content hashes I often times had 5-10 minutes of preliminary phase where not a single byte was downloaded, only for finally start downloading 500MB at 20KB/s... And I have a gigabit connection.
