Sucks that clearnet IPFS gateways (ahem cloudflare) censor pirated books tho

Funny how they argue that they are content neutral every time someone calls them out for having Nazi customers, but they are more than happy to censor for capitalists.

Funny how Web3 promised a more decentralized internet but shits themselves when pirated books are shared. Like, do you want freedom of information or not. It confirms that web3 is just another big tech buzzword.

Huh I thought I've been downloading stuff with ipfs from them the whole time

You can download individual books through IPFS, but not a collection of their entire dataset
