  For who?

  • me? I can’t delete anything even if I wanted to
  • relay hosts? Most connections are short lived, and any data is end to end encrypted
  • cache maintainers? They can only delete local copies, so there’s no reason not to comply; they could even actively filter the data they store
  • individual users? There’s plausible deniability, which should protect the innocent, and local moderation should address the worst of it

  The biggest targets are individual users, but as we’ve seen with BitTorrent, that almost never happens. There’s also no profit here, so there are no assets to seize, though I’ll probably accept donations.

    I don’t mean crime, no. There’s laws regarding moderation when a platform is big enough. And regarding personal data in a lot of cases

      Ah, that’s not a thing where I’m from (US). I wonder what that would look like without a central authority. There’s no way to guarantee any particular moderation or ensure deletion of personal data, so I guess their options are to ban it or let it slide.
