I do agree STINC shall play a greater role in fighting abuse, with tools. I wrote a comment to their most recent post to the community her.

Wondering how they removed/deleted the images, the images are not stored on the blockchain, but by some image hosting party. Were just the links destroyed, or did STIN als work with the image hoster to remove the image itself?

The videos (and maybe images in the future) are on an IPFS based storage (steemitimages is that IPFS, or simple traditional way of storage?). When on IPFS based storage system, is it possible to delete content? When not, how will unwanted content then deleted?
