Crypto platforms, in theory dedicated to open source/open access, have a ready-made answer to people or governments looking to censor abuse claims of copyright infringement: that you must take the good with the bad. When it comes to human rights violations that may not be a satisfactory answer. And, in reality, it’s more often just a bit of mental masturbation, as plenty of crypto projects have been willing to give up the pretense of decentralization to reverse transactions, block content and uphold copyrights. (You might ask, what’s the point of crypto then?)
