- O1111OOO 8mo ago> It isn't a good way. You are fearmongering. I think the user raises valid concerns that should be discussed. Freenet (~2000) did something similar. They distributed and cached content across all participating nodes. Users were storing encrypted fragments of other's data. It was notorious for distributing illegal content. I recall that at the time, users were concerned about illegal content winding up on their computers - even if they weren't directly - knowingly - downloading those resources. As I looked a little deeper just now, I'm discovering that courts have generally been lenient on unknowing participants - that intent and knowledge do matter. It's still a legal grey area (from some basic research I just did - maybe someone else can add to this). I would still be concerned about a corrupt agency (in some fascist environment) pressing charges or insinuating illegal activity regardless of intent.
- like_any_other 8mo agoIt's interesting how effectively CP laws killed anonymity and free speech tools. All it takes is one bad actor (and a compliant media apparatus that will parrot "known for hosting CP" on command).
