This article made a false statement

> the gateway is in full control and can inspect and tamper with the data as much as it likes. And there is no way for the client to know or detect if it is happening.

Regarding data tampering;

IPFS uses content based addressing, the point is that the client _can_ know by computing a message digest of the incoming data. The verification is fast and cheap.
