IPFS does two things here that you might not want to use for the use case you describe.

Clients host the content they access.

The real IP address of people hosting any particular content is discoverable.

Using IPFS for this use case could make for an easy list of targets.

Huh, thanks, I didn't know that - particularly the third point. Is IPFS over Tor a thing?
