RE: Taking Action against harassment of users on Steemit Inc. Contact information found inside.
Ultimately, the actions of flaggots are their own responsibility. I can grasp the point to targeting Steemit, as any litigator aims high. However it is not Steemit that has threatened people's lives, sexually harassed them, or thrown these flags. The folks that did are liable for the torts they have effected, and I hope you choose your target appropriately.
Thanks!
What has Steemit. Inc. done to midigate this type of abuse? Apparently absolutely nothing. For example they had to midigate the 9/11 account @darkoverlord. Even though they were not the people responsible for posting the sensitive information, they still stepped in. They had a legal duty to do so. They can not allow people to send users death threats, and do nothing about it. They have been made well aware of the situation, and choose to ignore emails. This is the last resort. There is a liability issue. For example if a member made threats on other users, and Steemit Inc. did nothing about it, and real harm came as a result of those threats, there would certainly be a liability issue. This is a dangerous situation and something must and will be done about it.
I'm not saying Steemit has. I'm saying they aren't the actual perps, and that is the proper target of defensive action, ultimately.
You will undertake taking action as you see fit, and other than my advice to sanction them as actually commit dangerous action, I have no business commenting.
I wish you the very best.
