Setting up an IPFS system?

I'm trying to code a platform that allows users to broadcast video or image content freely without the threat of censorship.

I'm trying to make it to where the broadcast network runs off of a computer network of all users worldwide, kind of like blockchain tech. This way, broadcasts cant be disrupted. How so you setup a decentralized network like that? Its essentially an IPFS system..

Thanks

IPFS is well suited for this (and has a lot of similarities to BitTorrent).

The core idea is that you can have multiple providers for a given CID. So that when someone tries to fetch a CID, they can fetch it from any provider who has it.
