Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server

My problem with chains of trust is the Kevin Bacon problem. Sure, I trust my friends, but some of their friends can be a little sketchy. Plus, they don’t have any direct social contact with me, nor any personal consequences for betrayal. And nevermind the sketchy friends of the sketchy friends.

Federation has its uses, but trust is not one of them.

@tburkhol Yeah chain of trust requires social connections (link how we build trust in our real lives ) it doesn't answer the question - Do I trust this person - but it least allows me to ask - could I trust this person - Friends of friends - I'd probably only trust them with encrpyted backups of bits of any particular photo where I know they don't have either the whole photo or the encrptyion keys to decrypt it.

  Would you allow the converse: FoF to store data on your system? Data that could be CSAM - maybe encrypted, maybe not - ‘terrorism’ content, etc?
