I am a little worried about this issue. I am all for the rights and freedoms of people to do what they want, but when it comes to hurting children, I don't approve at all nor do I want to indirectly support that kind of thing. The first thing that came to mind with this project was drugs, porn, sex, terrorism, and gambling. I don't know if I really want my computer to be supporting that network. At the same time I am not sure if there is anyway to tell just what my computer is supporting or not supporting as it is all encrypted and chopped in bits. But enabling a network to do encourage the abuse of children isn't cool at all. I am all for being able to go to political sites and send messages to my friends without google profiling me for adds and the NSA connecting all the dots of my existence, but at what cost? For now, I am definitely supporting the maidsafe platform and hope that internally they can find ways to deal with certain distasteful issues.
This is a classic "system trained mind" versus a free and libertarian mind argument.
Ok, i will put it this way.
Trucks can transport porn. Can transport poker decks, alcohol and weapons. Lets ban trucks.
Boxes can contain weapons. Drugs, anthrax. Lets get rid of all the boxes in the world.
You can see child porn on an ipad. Also you can read on wikipedia how to print a knife on a 3D printer. Lets destroy apple, delete wikipedia and dont use electricity anymore.
Hope you get the point. I can host on my encrypted HHD some bits that once decrypted and uncompressed on a guy laptop is a naked child. Basically because i dont know whats on this bytes. Neither the ISP is responsible. not the camera that made the photo. Once that appears, i will be fine with police raiding the hell of the guy out. But my PC is not guilty. He is. The perpetrator of the illegal action is.
