Unless company behind IPFS bans it. They are a US company after all.
- londons_explore 5y agoThe fact IPFS effectively allows anyone to 'ban' a content hash makes it effectively useless.
- betwixthewires 5y agoIs that true? As in, I can ban a hash and nobody can then access it? I've never heard of that.
- agustif 5y agoIt's an oversimplification If you run a node, you could block hashes of content you don't want hosting. Other nodes can still host it though.
- betwixthewires 5y agoCan other nodes find it? If that's the case, I don't see how it is a problem. The user should be able to decide what content their node hosts.
- londons_explore 5y agoYou can do more than that. You can position yourself in the DHT in a place that even though you don't host the specific data, all users must go through you to find out who hosts it. You then falsely tell all requesters that the data doesn't exist.
- betwixthewires 5y agoDo you have any more details on this problem?
- betwixthewires 5y agoProtocol labs? How can they ban something on a distributed network?
