Fully agree. In fact, that's what I'm suggesting in my original comment.

Web3 is essentially just indexing links. But since indexing links to pirated data is illegal, that's why the blockchain is needed. Sure, tor is also viable, but riskier for the people hosting the websites.

I agree but I find blockchain technology too costly hardwarewise, a simple anonimizing network may be enough
