even stuff like child porn would not be able to be deleted

cause you can not detect who is holding it, and you can not detect what you are holding

on the plus side, it would be a completely free zone, where you could do anything you wanted to do on the internet and get away with it anonymously, unles you a dummy and dox urself

you can't

you will have witch hunts

look at what people think of TOR

what people think would not matter in my example

there is nothing to witch hunt

ofc there is 😏

TOR is exactly what you described

unless you want to go after everyone that sends and receive encrypted data

it became a place where you mostly only go for illegal stuff

that's what happened

the FBI tracks everyone on TOR that they can

you cant detect what is being sent or received though

they control most exit nodes

wouldnt you be able to avoid all that using a vpn though? like what i just said but hidden behind a peer to peer encrypted vpn as well

assuming the vpn doesn't sell you over

which in case of the FBI, they have the power to force the VPN company to "sell" you over

they have to comply

no i mean a decentralized user hosted vpn

this the same FBI that has 0 evidence for collusion but still spends millions trying to find it,

Meanwhile believing that drought in california is russian bots? 😛

@>Cytos, de lieve goede synth there is a problem with that. it's not that no one holds the data, it's that several people own the data. But in the case if things like cp or other things that are illegal to simple have on the computer, than it's technically anyone with the software may get arrested for having cp on their hard drive

But something else http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/starbucks-manager-called-cops-minutes-black-men-arrive-article-1.3942931

but they may not. innocent till proven guilty remember

4chan is at it again in the news with this https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/04/18/fake-starbucks-coupon-aimed-blacks-uses-n-word/527964002/

gotta be able to prove you have illegal data, which is impossible if its encrypted and you cant be expected to know the password

every person is guilty in the eyes of the government, they just haven't found the evidence yet

@>Cytos, de lieve goede synth possession of child porn is illegal. If it's on your hard drive, you are in possession of cp. Even if it's not your cp. That's the problem.

but it might not be CP

it could be anything

You don't understand. If the police search any computer with that software, unless the software does not save full copies of files on the machine, if they find cp, that the software put there, the owner of that machine can get charged with possession.

I'm not saying the police will know what machine has it

I'm saying it could be randomly found on a machine by someone. For example, an IT person fixing your hard drive might come across it using computer forensics programs and report it to the police.

This is a potental problem.

but you arent storing the non decrypted data

anything anyone would ever be able to find is the encrypted data, which they cant decypher without a key, that the ownder of the computer doesnt have

They can, but things designed to break encryption could. Such as, idk, someone trying to decypte some files that got affected by some ransomware. So the local IT is running some utilies on the computer and oops, suddenly it says it found some cp it just decypted.

My point is, it is a risk.

you cant just decrypt data
