# Censorship Resistance

Censorship resistance is a crucial feature of ClusterAI, inspired by decentralized technologies like BitTorrent and Bitcoin. Here's why it matters and how we achieve it:

* **Decentralized Control**: No single entity can dictate what models are allowed or how they're used.
* **Peer-to-Peer Architecture**: Direct connections between nodes eliminate central points of control or failure.
* **Cryptographic Protections**: Encryption and blockchain technology secure communications and transactions.
* **Global Distribution**: A worldwide network of nodes makes it extremely difficult to shut down or censor.
* **Open-Source Ethos**: Transparency in our code and operations prevents hidden censorship mechanisms.

This censorship resistance ensures that AI development and usage remain free from undue influence or control, fostering a truly open and innovative AI ecosystem.
