Great questions. we can get all of these answered over time. But the first thing to say is that we care about doing this very right, and are thoughtful in our approach.
In short, for now, we’ll translate DMCA requests and the like into a blocklist, and publish it somewhere. (we haven’t had to do this yet). clients can follow it in their configs. (will have some easy way to configure and turn on/off).
We will likely provide our own as default for now. In the long term it would be our hope that an independent bodies like EFF and Berkman Center would get involved in making sure these lists are correct. (I personally would like to reduce the “false positives” problem in DMCA, but it’s not easy to do this at scale given the huge volumes (youtube receives tons of these)). Regardless all blocklists would be accessible through ipfs itself to audit, and should carry a reason (usually the original legal request from whatever entity). This can be audited independently.
