This is a good point. Censorship-resistance sounds good in theory, but when you actually think about it there is certain stuff that everybody would agree needs to be censored.
- h_anna_h 5y agoA lot of people? Sure. Everybody? Not really, some people are really vocal about how "data wants to be free".
- wongarsu 5y agoIf everyone agrees that it needs to be censored, then who is posting it?
- int_19h 5y agoWhen you actually think of it, it's impossible to design systems that are capable of such "good" censorship without also being open to all the other kind. Experience has also shown that, when such capacity exists, its use expands over time. And some of us have decided that the long-term social damage from that far exceeds the damage from any information that could be effectively censored.
