Skirting legal implications is the tricky part. Maybe distributed content based on some BitTorrent protocol, as you watch it you host it with no lasting local data? That would provide database pruning as well, as popularity wanes so does availability. I’d support development of these ideas to some degree. I think the world needs it to avoid centralized fascist thought control. Control the narrative, control the people. That is nothing new.

therein lies the problem. what legal implications and on what matters? the internet should just be an extension of real life. just people carrying out actions, after all, as has been the case since the world as we know it, pre-internet. the basis of every penal code is the ten commandments of the old testament. you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness. in the end, they are trying to transform the internet into everything it was born to combat, this control of the narrative, while the path should be the opposite: reassuring individual rights hard won in real life over the last few centuries. I can't think of any truly new crime with the advent of the internet. in the 70s, child pornography was already prohibited. hacking? theft of private property. not even silk road did anything new. the only logical solution would be to transpose real-life crimes (as if the Internet weren't real enough) to the digital world, perhaps as an aggravating factor. in the end, the internet will not allow itself to be censored. they will try, they will criminalize it, they may even be successful among the sheep. but decentralization is already a reality. the consequences of this, how this battle will be fought, is what remains to be seen.
