RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)This is a very useful take on liability for transmitting illegal content, thanks. A vital aspect to consider, which I'm not sure is covered here, is liability for *storing* illegal content. This is unique for hash-tree-based blockchains because, unlike other forms of internet storage for which we have legal precedents, the illegal content, once stored, cannot be selectively deleted without disrupting a great deal of the other functionality of the blockchain (this is especially app ...

Blockchain Technology & Legal Considerations - The discussion revolves around liability concerns related to transmitting illegal content on blockchains [1] - A critical aspect is the liability for *storing* illegal content on hash-tree-based blockchains [1] - Unlike other internet storage, selectively deleting illegal content on blockchains is difficult without disrupting functionality [1] - This difficulty is especially pronounced for archival nodes, which are crucial for blockchain operation [1]
