Nothing in the decentralized design prevents an host from blocking one video. By "we can't strike, shadow-ban, or demonetize you just because we disagree", he simply meant that the net prevents that. Like tor, a relay cannot be held liable for content on the tor network.
- vivzkestrel 3y agoso you want an 8 yr old child who mistakenly might have opened the home page of this website to go and manually block the video so that he cant see the video after he saw it?
- askonomm 3y agoHost, not user. The host blocks it. Host has moderators the same way as Twitter does.

- acdha 3y agoYou hope they cannot be held liable. That doesn’t mean that you can’t be raided, or have to defend yourself against charges of illicit content being found in a computer you use, or accusations that you’re knowingly supporting crimes. A lot of that is going to depend on the service and how much visibility you have into user activity - a caching storage node is going to be riskier than forwarding encrypted packets, for example. Here’s an example of some privacy activists: https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2016/04/07/couple-hosting-tor-exit-node-raided-by-cops-investigating-child-abuse/ https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2016/04/07/couple-hosting-tor-... Maybe you’re super ideologically committed to providing a privacy service and willing to take the risk, but you still want to soberly consider those risks and think about the impact if it’s harder to defend yourself than you thought. It’s not a casual decision.
