Filtering must be inbound, not outbound.

Users should be able to broadcast whatever they want, including highly illegal stuff.

Users should be able to filter whatever they receive, based on their individual preferences.

Sorry, but I disagree here. Even in something that’s decentralized, the user relies on someone and that someone most definitely has the right (and ethical responsibility) to stop the spread of “highly illegal stuff.”

"Highly illegal stuff" is relative, in time.and space.

How do you suggest we enforce that?

If I’m making a decision to delete something based on it’s legality, I refer to the laws that apply to me. Not that tricky.
