It's the encrypted peer to peer network back end of places like Odysee. But front end operators with domain names like odysee can choose not to carry all content (ie censor)
But if you download lbry itself then you see everything on the encrypted peer to peer network
LBRY is a strong choice for censorship resistance. There are a few distinctions which need to be made, but they are quick and easy to understand.
LBRY - the protocol, released under a Free Licence LBRY Inc. - The company which created LBRY, continues its development, and which founded Odysee Inc. Odysee Inc. - The company which now runs Odysee.com, a front-end for LBRY. Odysee.com - A website which allows you to view content mounted on LBRY
Odysee Inc. run their own servers which help host content and help you livestream if you are streaming using odysee.com. Sometimes they remove content, i.e. mask it, to comply with DMC requests. They sometimes censor, too.
Paveloom created a fork of the LBRY client which removes the Odysee Inc. blacklist. If you use LBRY/Odysee, upload using a LBRY client, as this informs the backend LBRY network that content is available from sources in addition to the Odysee.com frontend. (If you use odysee.com webpage tools to upload content, the network isn't instructed that the content is also available from other sources.)
For censorship free content, you or somebody needs to host and seed the content that you find valuable. You do that with a LBRY client, eg the Paveloom fork. THe more people who seed it, the better a CDN (Content Delivery Network) you have. You also need what are now called Hubs. They used to be called wallet-servers. Hubs help people search for content, and you need non-censoring Hubs to help people find content.
Have a look at https://madiator.com He has setup a LBRY frontend using Odysee.com frontend code. The madiator backend is not run by odysee, it is run by himself, and he hosts and seeds content there.
You can serve all kinds of files, including documents and 3d schemas on LBRY.
Here is the paveloom fork which you can use on LBRY / odysee.com:
No I haven't looked into the founders. All I know is that the source code for library is open source and you know I would presume people who would notice problems with the code would step forward. Like anything else a lot of it's trust-based and open source stuff is easier to trust especially if you compile it yourself and run it on your own computer which I realize is beyond the capability of 99% of all people. But the long and the short of it is you probably have a better chance of having some sort of security and whatever if you're running the back end on your own computer then if you're using anybody else's website.
Anyway you know if you have it running on your own computer you should theoretically at least be able to see whatever you want. I had it running on a computer for a while but quite frankly I just wasn't that interested in seeing some of the videos and stuff and found interfaces like Odyssey easier. I'm at the point in life where I feel like I know pretty much everything about anything that might be censored and so that kind of stuff doesn't really matter to me as much.
