RE: SOOOO Excited To Be On DTUBE! | What I Meant By Regulation & Censorship | Furious Pete
Nothing can be removed from the blockchain. Ever. "Regulation" isn't going to change this.
Any app can choose any policy it likes for what it presents to the user. This means evil stuff can be blocked.
The user can choose what app they want to use. They can choose to use an app that blocks porn, or an app that blocks political stuff they don't like, or an app that only blocks child porn, snuff porn and rape. Or an app that blocks nothing.
Steemit.com works by simply blocking anything with negative vote counts. This means anything voted down to oblivion is invisible automatically. You can also report genuinely illegal content to Steemit and they will ensure that their web app does not show it.
Tip!
These facts were probably in the Getting Started guide I was supposed to read, but thanks for posting them. Very helpful for somebody just starting out.
Is there a getting started guide?
Actually, it's called the "quick start guide". Here: https://steemit.com/welcome#Quick_Start_Guide
Thank you! :) I just posted that.
Well explained
But this also means anybody can create an app that pulls out everything that has ever written on the Steem blockchain since genesis without blocking a single thing.
Perfect system! If the Bible was originally written on a blockchain--I'm pretty sure religion wouldn't have existed by now.
now that is an explanation that add peas to the carrots and fills my entire belly, with knowledge!
