dweb.link points to a IP address owned by Protocol Labs, presumably they own the domain as well. Being a US company, they need to adhere to US law. A take-down request can very well happen, especially since NYT is also a US company. Protocol Labs also seems to have responded to take-down requests before on their gateways.
That link can be "taken down", blocked or limited in other ways.
What can't happen, is that the content it is pointing to, can't be "scrubbed" from the internet. As long as you have the CID (essentially a hash), you'll be able to get it (probably) from some node out there in the world.
- nybble41 5y agoIf you have the IPFS Companion[0] browser extension installed (or use Brave, which includes it natively) then the dweb.link URL will be translated automatically into an ipfs:// URL and resolved locally. Blocking the CID at the public gateway, or even taking down the gateway, would have no effect. [0] https://docs.ipfs.io/install/ipfs-companion/ https://docs.ipfs.io/install/ipfs-companion/
