It is hosting company that is operated from U.S. jurisdiction under sauce of Decentralized Storage, and it is laughable in context that presumably it can not be shut down by Law enforcement.

Let's say you upload files via a Pinning Service (Filebase or Pinata). Let's say this website has some traffic. Now let's say this pinning service removes your website, or the pinning service ban your website, or the pinnging service gets bankrupt.

This happens: If someone requests a file or a webpage, a copy of the file is cached on their node. As more and more people request that data, more and more cached copies will exist. Subsequent requests for that file can be fulfilled by any node —or combination of nodes—that has the file on it. The burden of delivering the data and fulfilling the request is gradually shared out among many nodes.
