This is old but it is something I am really interested in: IPFS
https://ipfs.io/blog/24-uncensorable-wikipedia/
A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol to make the web faster, safer, and more open.
The idea is that, with the way the internet works now, you point the domain towards what is ultimately a server hosted by an individual location. If that location burned down, the website would go down. The government could ban or shut down that server if it wanted to do so.
IPFS is loosely based on bittorrent P2P protocol, and blockchain. Instead of targeting the location of a server hosting a file, it targets the content of the file, through a hash of the content. If the content changes at all, the hash changes.
Then, with multiple participants hosting that, file, any one of them can serve the content to the requester (presumably the one closest would do so).
Implication? Well look at the article. Turkey shut down wikiepedia, someone put up a snapshot on IPFS, and turkey can’t do a damn thing. It is beautiful.
