For IPFS -- there isn't an "owner" of the content in IPFS per se, and as such we will review the specifics of the report and then determine the appropriate next steps.
- I understand this thing is new and policies are being created as issues are discovered, I think it would be best to be more up front about the coming blocking of things, if you all will post a notice or just make it appear that the whatever-file is not found, and things like this.
That statement is very broad, and I can see a future where lots of niche communities are eventually blocked for varying reasons.
Which countries are going to be able to tell you all what to take down?
There was a time when I had a lot of faith in Cloudflare, and the whole, it's a pipe / telephone line, not a moderated server - but the whole stormfront thing weakened your position with all the powers that be from what I can tell.
So if a bunch of <insert-niche-com-here> start posting links based upon the cloudfalre-ipfs-gateway/controversial-not-mainstream-whatever1 , 2 , 3 etc.. and you all end up nuking all of them, will people know that the files still exist and can be accessed with other means aside from the cloudflare portal?
I would think that cloudflare needs to split up and create US company and an EU company and Cananda one, and a Japan... I mean there are so many conflicting things around the world, when you want to censor the internet you just pick a rule from some place on the planet and file a complaint - I think you could removed just about anything.
I like the things you all are trying to do, but being a central place under whatever authorities with a fickle CEO that can single handedly change everything, along with who knows how many agencies and stick a paper to your head and make you change, I think it's time your company became decentralized itself.
I hope that happens, or some rule is made saying you all are just dumb pips and can't make censor decisions, but I'm not holding my breath for that.
