Emerging #web3 technologies like #IPFS or #InterPlanetaryFileSystem may or may not provide a bridge to repairing the #Splinternet.

But since they require vetted IPFS Gateways, it’s more likely that it will (and has been used) continue to be a attack vector for #phishing attacks.

"Last spring the #government of #Turkey did a terrible thing: It blocked its citizens' access to #Wikipedia on national security grounds. But then, one of the more amazing and wonderful things in Internet history happened: #Activists, using a new #openSource protocol called the #InterplanetaryFileSystem, mirrored the Turkish and Kurdish versions of Wikipedia and published it in a way that no government could thwart—and virtually anyone with an #Internet connection and a browser could access"

"(..) you can see some interesting work being done already. #Mastodon, is a #decentralized #TwitterKiller; YouTube, eBay and Spotify are under attack by blockchain upstarts; and companies such as #Po.et and #Civil are building token-based, #blockchain publishing platforms that aspire to create #sustainable #businessModels for #journalism"
