I’ve come to realize that censorship rarely announces itself. Most of the time, it creeps in quietly—through neglect, selective enforcement, or simple disappearance. That’s why true censorship resistance in storage isn’t about defiance; it’s about structure.
What stands out about Walrus is how it removes permission from the equation. Once data is stored, its survival doesn’t depend on approval or attention. Responsibility is distributed, not negotiated. Data doesn’t need to be loud to be protected—it needs to be anchored in a system that doesn’t allow easy erasure.
Walrus is built around this principle: persistence should outlast opinion, pressure, and convenience. When information can remain accessible without relying on any single authority, censorship stops being a choice—it becomes a non-option.
