Diaspora Foundation: A Child-Porn Sharing Network
This is the problem of decentralized, too open systems (aka anarchy): it enables terrorism, child porn, violent hate groups, organized crime and other extremists and criminals. There needs to be a reputation system and stronger limits to gradually give a user more access. Also, if they&#x27;re required to pay for what they use (micropayment) to keep resources on servers, they&#x27;re less likely to post illegal junk. Otherwise, crazy jerks will turn a free service into a Tragedy of the Commons, and everyone loses. We need more user-supported, non-profit sensible social media, productivity and other web apps to replace the for-profit and the wild-west ones that don&#x27;t scale so well without major work. That being said, free often becomes junk because there&#x27;s not the focus and professionalism to make something cool.<p>TL;DR - free doesn&#x27;t scale without meaningful accountability
