As I understand DHT is just addresses and hashes, not the actual data.
I draw the line this way: If I disconnect the computer from the network any given time, does it store the questionable data.
Would running an onion relay that helps people access illegal material be fine? Nothing gets stored on your machine
Yes?
Do you want to ban the internet because people using it for bad things? Basically you say the same thing.
I don't care what other people do, I care what they could do with me.
I never suggested such a thing, was just curious on your viewpoint.
The way I see it, as any platform or service gets more users, traffic and messages the probability that it will be used for nefarious purposes approaches 100%. It's the nature of life, it'll happen anywhere and everywhere people can communicate or interact. It's counter productive to ban technology like encryption or decentralised services just because someone might use it in a way the government doesn't like, or for other nefarious purposes.
