The Universal Data License Explained
The metadata in question is called “tags” on the Arweave blockchain.

Publishers Carpet-Bomb IPFS Gateway Operators with DMCA Notices
IPFS isn't the right use case for a dropbox clone. It behaves like a CDN with no persistence guarantees.
Arweave is better suited to archival storage. There are options for participants to ban particular types of content which may be illegal to host in their jurisdiction. This was designed to prevent the spread of CP, terrorism related info, etc. but that means it is also susceptible to DCMA issues too.
