it's content addressed, if an ISP was so keen it would be simple to blackhole requests for a particular file (of course, one need only to change 1 bit to get a new content hash, but you have to redistribute the new file from scratch
- dietr1ch 3y agoI don't know about how IPFS is implemented, but you could use content-addressed blocks underneath every file too. This way flipping a bit means that only one underlying block changes, and that the new file would share N-1 blocks with the previous one, making redistribution only require sharing a single block.
