Distribution is a great idea. Decentralizing is a great idea. Open Source is great idea.

Permanent.... is a great idea and a very conflicting idea.

While the utility of permanent cannot be denied but the implications for privacy, piracy are far reaching.

This isn't freenet where you have no control over what you store. If you have an objection to certain content, you don't have to store it. It's only permanent so long as at least one person is willing to distribute it.

eg. dodgy Snapchat pics your mate's gf sent him?

Transparency can work both ways.
