Yes but the fear would be a point at which someone asks you to remove the stuff and you say "well technically we can't" and they start looking for reasons to put you jail. Even if you're losing the game of whackamole, you at least need to be seen whacking moles.

We can remove data from our official apps (or at least hide it). We do this for dmca requests.
But if someone is hosting it, anyone can access it through the command line, or if they take our app code and remove a couple lines.
Another way to look at it is, `http` isn't responsible for preventing illegal content to be shared, `lbry` is the same.

It's hard to prevent entirely, even if you fully control the network.
