Well that’s the key problem. The idea itself is actually fine. It’s some arbitrary list of tags for content.

It has three key problems are all are execution failures.

1. This has never worked - ever - and people will never be consistent or accurate when self-tagging. Even porn websites don’t have accurate tags.

2. Community tagging is an unsolved problem just the same. What if I DDOS all your content as illegal? It can be abused easily.

3. Let’s say we have a perfectly tagged system. Great. Now laws pass to make relays ban/delete certain tagged content. Great. No we lose all old content and no new content is tagged correctly in protest and the whole system dies anyway.
