This is what I've been pondering about in regards to general decentralization. For instance, I see the pieces of a decentralized version of YouTube laying around waiting to be put together, but I know such a platform could easily lend itself to piracy without some sort of regulation.

I do not understand enough about regulatory systems to confidently suggest a solution but I am excited to read and hear what others think about this.

https://d.tube/ is a decentralized version of YouTube. I'm not active there, but from what little ive seen it's mainly OC

How does it handle child porn and terrorist beheading? I don't really want my kids watching it. Let alone kids gaming videos that cuss too much. To me youtube doesn't do enough to manage it's content.

Downvote it. It won't disappear, but it then shouldn't appear organically (sidebar suggestions etc.) anymore.

Is that a joke? It’s grossly inadequate for handling distasteful but legal material (remember GamerGate?), let alone actual illegal content. The people who want it (or their bots) are far more likely to upvote things in greater number than everyone else is to seek it out for downvoting.
