True, but my comment that the image isn't on the blockchain is still accurate. IPFS is not a blockchain and content can be changed.

Doesn't IPFS use content-addressing? In other words, the url of a file is the hash, so the contents can't be changed.

Can it not be removed by the original uploader, or anyone else to acquire their credentials?

correct
