They can't take it down.

They can and will use legal means to go after anyone trying to use the network this way in order to make the content less discoverable and discourage others from following suit.

Being coined as the Napster on Blockchain is the worst possible PR one can think of in their situation.

I suspect Russia could now help with this one :-)
But why would it, really? At this point it absolutely plans to rejoin world economy once things "blow over". And if becomes clear that it's not going to happen - there is even less reason to host some books in foreign languages that probably have "extremist" content in them.
Because they can; same reason anybody else might host it, except for Russia it's easier because you can ignore the law.
so you're telling me there's CSAM on IPFS that feds "can't" take down? Somehow I doubt that.
Somehow? How? Do you know how IPFS works? They can't take down torrents either.

But we were talking about filecoin raking something down from ipfs. They can't do it.
