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 ...

But efficiency isn’t the risk - liability is.You don’t need gigabytes of CSAM to break the law, just a few kilobytes.Core v30 normalizes relaying that by default. Filters exist so node ops don’t have to. ...
