Q:I would like to know how you will deal with illegal content in the future? 6:26 PM

Hi ! How familiar are you with the project? Are you aware of the distinction between the protocol layer (Open Index Protocol) and the application layer (Alexandria, Token.FM, etc)?
The answer to your question requires understanding that component - the protocol is permissionless and public, therefore literally anything can be published. However, the governance of OIP does include a note about "universally abhorrent" content - like child pornography, snuff pornography and hunting children for sport - and prohibits any compliant applications from allowing this kind of content to make money
At the application layer - every individual application will use filter lists to limit the content displayed - ie, Token.FM is a music streaming service, so they will not be displaying other kinds of content published to OIP
Alexandria is our application - and we intend for it to be as open as possible, as such we do not have any restrictions on content, beyond what is limited by the protocol - as i mentioned this is "universally abhorrent" content & illegal content/DMCA issues.
Q: Will you focuse on marketing when you finished developement? 11:21 PM
A: devon
oh yes
we just knew it wouldnt serve us to do so while in dev - our primary target audience is content creators, who prefer when technology is running smooth and isnt confusing
so if we got them all hyped up and they came along and found a work in progress, they wouldnt have a good impression of the project
