If you actually watch the video you can see they are no longer allowed to upload content so I think you're wrong. It's also going to be very difficult to host anything when the government has a total crackdown on internet. You host some videos of war there and I can guarantee it would come back to you very quickly.

Tor, IPFS?

It's still besides the point, though: Internet is like radio waves; sure you can be prosecuted for using them for activity that's illegal in where you currently are, but it does not constitute a threat to electromagnetism.

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?
