> IPFS doesn't encrypt the content, or the connectivity, or hide the hosts. Solutions exist around that, but they're niche, and honestly I question the motives besides just ideology.

Hiding connectivity metadata and host identity are essential to protect users from adversaries.

I agree with you, but I suspect your observation is circular in this context. If we define "protect" and "adversaries" appropriately, couldn't this be true of any measure?

[mirimir]

I'm not sure what you mean by "any measure".

What I'm recommending would protect all sorts of users from all sorts of adversaries. So it's nonjudgmental.

But that doesn't mean that it's "circular".
