First off, I'm still not sure what you are claiming is conspiracy theory. I may not have worded something perfectly for you, but I have never claimed conspiracy. D-tube claims they want to decentralize... ok then. What exactly does that mean? Distributed or actually decentralized? Because if they mean to truly decentralize which means giving up the ability to censor without the vote of the majority then that 100% brings legal and social aspects into the matter. Who would be liable for copyright infringement, "hate speech" or anything else illegal or questionable? These things absolutely do matter, it just seems that everyone wait's until after the fact to address them.
If D-tube took a truly decentralized approach then they have to give up the ability to censor. This would have to be accompanied by the majority support of the people. People can't claim they want that freedom for themselves while at the same time holding D-tube or any similar platform liable for what someone else posts that they don't like. My point here is that as of right now this approach will not work and only succeed in getting D-tube into massive legal troubles without the support of the people in order to overturn the laws that specifically prohibit this type of model. As I don't see that happening any time soon, any efforts spent on this particular approach will be wasted.
So, the only other option is distributing the data while maintaining control over it. Unfortunately as of right now this is the only way that would work both legally and socially. I fail to understand how you think the social aspect of a social media platform is irrelevant to the technical implementation of said platform.
Now please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I stated before I believe anyone can already manually re-host any videos on D-tube to support whatever content they want. So if that's the case then it would seem to me that that model is already partially implemented, so the best way to expand on that would be to create a piece of software that both incentivises and automates the process in a similar way to how decentralized storage applications have done it. I do not mean to actually adopt any of those applications as a solution and figure out how to then make it viewable. I simply mean adopt the general ideas of how they handle the contracting and automation end of things while expanding on the functionality that D-tube already has.
Now please... continue to elaborate on how I'm engaging in conspiracy theory... or how social and legal issues are irrelevant to the technical implementation of a social media platform that's trying to balance freedom of speech and information with questionable or outright illegal content especially when it relates to a potential decentralized approach spanning globally over all legal jurisdictions. Please... enlighten me!
Oh, I see now. Your mistaking my sarcasm for conspiracy. Sorry about that, sarcasm doesn't always come out right in text.
