BitTorrent in Knowledge Diplomacy and Cultural Exchange
Decentralized storage is not only technical but cultural. BitTorrent’s BTFS enables preservation and sharing of research, literature, and cultural archives across borders. In regions where censorship is prevalent, BitTorrent acts as a diplomatic infrastructure for knowledge exchange.
Opportunities: Partnerships with NGOs and cultural institutions could expand adoption.
Risks: Political sensitivities around information sovereignty may trigger restrictions.
