seems like a poor excuse, since its the swedish team that made it happen 😂

@Grenade123 I generally dislike naïve techno-utopianism that only sees the good uses for new technology without giving any thought to the bad. That attitude has given us plenty of grief in the past, and as technology becomes more and more powerful it'll give us plenty more grief in the future.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't make new technology; that just means we need to design new technology while constantly thinking of how it can be abused.

you will never make a tool that will not be abused

So all attempts to mitigate abuse should be abandoned?

I think he means even if you consider possible means of abuse, people will find NEW ways

^

if you want to mitigate abuse entirely, the easiest way is to just not make it

Sure. But IPFS doesn't appear to have taken ANY steps to address how their system can be abused..

Techno-utopians just seem to shrug and say whatever fuck da poleese.

Cool

no, its more like stop being lazy and deal with the problem, not hide the problem by giving unbelievable power to small groups of people.

people are the problem, not the tools

@Atkins you know what the dark web is?

Yes I know what Tor is.

And don't tell me that Tor isn't used almost entirely by criminals.

The only people using Tor other than criminals are feds.

Your mom ain't sharing cute cat pictures on Tor.

cool, guess valuing privacy makes me a criminal

but i don't use tor that often

but my point is, the problem you are worried about, already exists

any way IPFS can be abused, is already being abused.

I know it already exists. I deal with it regularly.

I once got called to a location because their NAS stopped working.

Turns out the firmware wasn't updated.

Someone turned it intoa 6TB CP server.

it doesn't make the problem worse, nor better. that is no the problem it is designed to even touch upon.

i love how stupid these people are

sounds like the guy who brought a laptop with CP on to geek squad

asked them to fix it

Plenty of computers and smart devices get hijacked and turned into Tor nodes, proxies, VPN exits, etc.

Then grandma gets a visit from the cops one day on a NCMEC warrant because her dusty old laptop is being used to upload CP to youtube.

welcome to the internet.

bot net of smart watches

fuck da po-leese amirite.

buncha nazis

careful, you might get charged with a hate crime for saying that
