Its as hard as making a decentralised Google and decentralised YouTube at the same time. Over 75 master students and PhDs put their coding efforts in it at Delft University.
What IPFS, Dat protocol, Tribler, and all others are missing is "adverserial decentralised information retrieval".
For any keyword you type in, the match you want should show first. Trolling, Kremlin bots and copyright police forces should not be able to bring it down. Unsolved problem. How to create a privacy respecting relevance ranking or distributed clicklog.
> Imagine if all Twitter users had 'verified' status and you could also find them across their other social apps without any risk of following fake or wrong accounts by mistake.
Without any risks? Ideas from self-sovereign identity are somewhat included in this promo. Does this service include hiring notaries to check state-issued IDs to verify identities? Risk-free IDs are unsolved I believe.

How would that be without risks? Corruption concerns aside, Nation-States are likely among the biggest identity fakers for their intelligence services.
I think "without risk" meant that discovery of alternative accounts/URLs is signed with a public key you already know of, so impersonation risks are reduced. I don't care to know "who" this is, as long as i know it's the same person.
apologies for the poor formulation. Another login system you are required to support. People can create personas and if you try to de-anonymize them across service you're in gross violation of EU law. So more like privacy friendly must-have, right?
No double blind methodology protocol.
