Welcome to Presearch, i thought that you would all find this super interesting given the current landscape of censorship & centralized powers that be. We're a decentralized search engine powered by the community. We just launched our node-powered search engine this week, meaning you can run an instance on your computer or through a cloud provider like AWS and process searches that users query from our platform. If you want to be a beta node operator, create an account on Presearch, join our telegram group (https://t.me/PresearchNodes) & fill out our typeform (https://presearchcommunity.typeform.com/to/UkDumktm). Once you're accepted, head to https://nodes.presearch.org. We're excited to see you using a platform!

Why do users need your permission to run a node?

I'd be interested in this as well. I assume/hope this is a temporary thing, same as the reason someone mentioned why you haven't open sourced the project?
