I don't see how IPFS deals with bad actors on the net. How does the receiver ensure that the content sent by the sender is identical to that published by the author?

Also IMO, one of the strengths touted for IPFS - its immunity to censorship - is also a weakness. As legal takedowns via the DMCA (or equivalent) would require sending a takedown order to every host containing a copy of the offending material, copyright infringement becomes impossible to enforce. No one can afford to sue everyone with a bootleg copy of a song / movie on their home computer; there are simply too many of them.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
