What IPFS, Dat protocol, Tribler, and all others are missing is "adverserial decentralised information retrieval".
For any keyword you type in, the match you want should show first. Trolling, Kremlin bots and copyright police forces should not be able to bring it down. Unsolved problem. How to create a privacy respecting relevance ranking or distributed clicklog.
Its as hard as making a decentralised Google and decentralised YouTube at the same time. Over 75 master students and PhDs put their coding efforts in it at Delft University.
> Imagine if all Twitter users had 'verified' status and you could also find them across their other social apps without any risk of following fake or wrong accounts by mistake.
Without any risks? Ideas from self-sovereign identity are somewhat included in this promo. Does this service include hiring notaries to check state-issued IDs to verify identities? Risk-free IDs are unsolved I believe.
apologies for the poor formulation. Another login system you are required to support. People can create personas and if you try to de-anonymize them across service you're in gross violation of EU law. So more like privacy friendly must-have, right?

Security needs work, functionality works. (disclaimer, I'm the responsibile professor)
It seems global copyright enforcement with blacklisting and blocklists:

(I've testified in US federal court in copyright cases as the expert witness professor. I always try to investigate the DMCA decisions of developers. Difficult tradeoffs.)
No double blind methodology protocol.
