There is Tox which is P2P and encrypted and basically does this, but it's not that popular.
Basically with P2P things get complicated still having fixed rooms that you can find in a list or send offline messages, presumably using other nodes as temporary relays.
This uses free VPNs? And even port forwarding?
What I think is missing is a kind of signed database version control system. So you make a list of data (maybe just a markdown table) and you sign it wiht a private key and put that in a DHT / distributed hashtable. Then people can use that and you can update the database / list. People can also fork this list, add their own stuff and distribute it as their own and signed with their own private key. And you could have pull requests and merge back good additions. All without requiring proper servers but possibly benefiting from being hosted on a seedbox.
And of course a simple client to find and view such lists.
Ideally you'd have some template that describes typical metadata for a kind of distribute movie database, but also books, subtitles, songs, albums, articles, scientific papers, fonts. But you can also fork the templates and extend them. So you might have a perfectly legit open source database of movies with links to what legit streaming service is selling it, and then an extra template that extends that with magnet releases.
I have never seen something like this though, my puny brain has trouble imagining the technical hurdles. Maybe this could just be done with a simple version control system client. I think torrent V2 also has some extensions that allow update-able torrents (which some FUD confused with this being the default). Or maybe it's that proper web pages allow people to make money through advertising.
Hmm, sounds like the P2P version has been paused for the forseeable future:

Good argument but if the guy uploading it would be in another country this law couldn't be enforced. Basically it's an unenforceable standard. To insist on enforcing it could lead to draconian measures.
The article mentions upload filters but that then again create a large burden. This burden requires more work or more money. Which leads to a centralization or monopolization of the internet. Which would be in the interest of social media corporation who can shoulder the burden.
In the future the ethical issues of porn could be solved by investing in and creating a near perfect AI porn model that can serve all our degenerate needs WITHOUT requiring humans to take their clothes off. Basically ethically sourced synthetic "vegan" porn that is created for your on demand in your own home. And then you can ban all the real porn because the demand for it will plummet. Of course there will still be people who get off on the abuse instead of on the fantasy.
Yeah. Worst offender is r/climatechange which is still moderated by a "both sides" climate skeptic. It's practically aiding genocide / omnicide.
Unfortunately lemmy doesn't have good solution to fracturing and default instances either.
Ironically, someone have a non-paywall link?
I just want a holodeck future without having to pay by the hour to DisneComBroSonyFlixMount.
I just want to say that I'd absolutely love a dog that is genetically engineered to eat vegan food. Not just be able to survive off it but actually like it. But still retain it's instinct as a guard dog / social hunter.

Thanks for the info. But lets say you want to train a (future) AI to spot and tag disinformation and misinformation. You'd need to use and curate actual data from social media sites and articles.
If copyright is extended to learning from and analyzing publicly available data, such an AI will only be possible by licensing that data. Which will be monetize to maximize profit, first some lump sum, then later "per gb" and then later "per use".
I'm sure open source AI will make due and for many applications there is enough free data, but I can imagine a lot of cases where there wont. Anything that requires "commercially successful" media, articles, newspapers, screenplays, movies, books, social media posts and comments, images, photos, video clips...
We're basically setting up a world where the intellectual wealth of our civilization is being transformed into a commodity and then will be transferred into the hands of a few rich capitalists.
And even if there is acceptable amount of free data, if the principle is that data needs to be specifically licensed to learn and train and derive AI works from it - that makes free data use expensive too. It needs to be specifically vetted and is still vulnerable to be sued for mistakes or outrageous claims of copyright. Similar to patents, the uncertainty requires higher capitalization for any startup to defend against lawsuits.
Just a little bit of feedback. Creative new language can be fun... but the headline is completely incomprehensible to me!
I often feel annoyed when checking out new communities that create their own "elitist" lingo or abbreviations to "save time". It doesn't save time for the reader!
BTW coded language is also a warning sign for cults :D
PS: Also maybe a better slang might be fucar (from fuck-cars)
