    Participating in the DHT allows others to find torrents and peers, without filtering, beause your machine is sharing information from your DHT peers.

    Interesting where you try to draw the line

      As I understand DHT is just addresses and hashes, not the actual data.

      I draw the line this way: If I disconnect the computer from the network any given time, does it store the questionable data.

        Would running an onion relay that helps people access illegal material be fine? Nothing gets stored on your machine

          Yes?

          Do you want to ban the internet because people using it for bad things? Basically you say the same thing.

          I don’t care what other people do, I care what they could do with me.
