there are so many approaches already tho. yggdrasil, ipfs, tor, freifunk, meshtastic, i2p (mixing a lot of things here, but there is tech out there). so much cool stuff, we just gotta use it.

well it's a slippery slope. you exist in existing jurisdictions and I'd rather not host CSAM tbh

They could've defined it as multiple filter lists for different kinds of content like uBlock does, but they chose not to. Therefore, anyone who (understandably and rightfully) want to block CSAM etc are now inadvertently blocking everything else that Protocol Labs disagrees with (e.g. copyright violation).
