right

but there is a permanence to anything on any particular blockchain.....so in that regard, “privacy” is not the foremost value. but, “uncensored” is.

I can live with that. in light of the demise of the First Amendment, and our complete breakdown of social discourse, I still think that is a hugely positive step forward....

It is encrypted P2P from sender to receiver though. The main thing holding this protocol back is the worry some have about participating and allowing use of their own resources to boost the capacity, or become a routing node.

I hear “What if someone else’s data content is illegal, or porn etc.?” The question is because your resources passed this encrypted data through from sender to receiver could you also be implicated. I cannot find a definitive yes or no on this very good question.

In my mind I cannot be held responsible for data that is encrypted, that I cannot encrypt, or have no knowledge of what it is. And because it is block chain and even sometimes onion layered on top of the blockchain protocol, it is almost impossible to decrypt and even know what is in it.
