Indeed, we already had this debate. Google and others proposed blocklists of files specifically identified by hash, law enforcement and copyright holders rejected blocklists of specific content as completely and totally unacceptable, indeed outrageous. They want to block by category, rather than block exact specific files identified by hash.</blockquote>

A content ID-based blocklist is the best solution I can personally think of. I'm open to better suggestions that don't involve abandoning global deduplication</div>
