This is interesting. I don\'t think it\'s going to work in the long run, because it\'s still a centralized service (and thus a single point of failure). They\'re also exclusively focused on sexual services\--with listings they wholly control and profit from\--rather than a general purpose app whose listings they don\'t control.\
\
In my opinion, Bram Cohen still walks free because he designed Bittorrent such that it was a decentralized service that even he cannot stop or control, even if he wanted to do so. And Bittorrent can also be used for many legal purposes (not just illegal filesharing).\
\
Whereas Ross Ulbricht is serving two life sentences, IMHO, in part, because he wholly controlled who was allowed to buy/sell on the Silk Road. He profited directly from the sale of illegal drug listings that he could\'ve taken down at any time, if he wanted to.\
