Dat already does this so that third parties don't know but not clear if that's also the case for those who have the link
from dat-wot.
Yeah I was thinking in terms of being able to share a dat link with someone, but they wouldn't be able to trace any IP of who is sharing the dat. I was thinking specifically about whistleblowing and things like SecureDrop. I think it is possible to do an onion routing thing over P2P. This could def be a separate lib, but part of the DatDrive UI, or whatever we're calling it.
If user A wants to send something to user B, and user A trusts user B, user A could simply encrypt the dat address using user B's pgp pubkey before sending the address, or just send the address directly over encrypted p2p.
But if user A wants to secure their anonymity and doesn't necessarily trust user B, then they will want to share and seed their data with user B using some kind of proxying. Another way would be for a third-party org to provide dat hosting, where the org's server doesn't save any info on the user and can't read the data in the node. But it would be cooler if this anonymity was built onto the underlying protocol itself as an optional mode for sharing data.
