I kinda figured this would happen.
I suspect that once the SAFE network is live, you could pretty easily upload a dozen videos, and write a immutable webpage script that publishes them one at a time over the course of 12 weeks.
Submitting these items to the network would be irrevocable – nobody could prevent these from being published – No court order, no bribery, no bullet to the head… Nothing could stop it.
Correct?
They also could’ve uploaded the footage through a torrent, which would make it practically immutable as well. Looks like they wanted to publish it only on TV or some other controlled channel, for whatever reason.
Even if it is out in the wild, A court can prevent you from linking to it…
But if you published the links in a time delayed fashion, it would be unstoppable.
I am sure that time release is a better strategy, to keep the dialog moving, but it does run the risk of censorship as we are seeing now…
The law has to change to fit around technical progress. There is no alternative to this.
