RE: PSA: WARNING- Dear Men Of Steem, that photo of the hot chick might just be a 10yr old kid

in #blog6 years ago

This exposes a very sensitive issue when it comes to a decentralized environment like Steem.

There is no way to ban bad actors like this, even those who dangle their children before an audience of predators for money.

I think the best way to handle this is to spread awareness and to keep a close eye on the account. Downvotes help to eliminate the financial incentive, but they might not be enough.

We need to be watchful for criminal behavior and maybe have a plan ready on how to inform the authorities when we do spot legitimate illegal behavior.

This might prompt the need for an account who specializes in notifying the local authorities of law breaking content?

I dont know how to that, but hopefully someone here does

Twitter has a centralized authority, and it spends that power banning people for criticizing the mainstream media while protecting actual pedophiles.

It's a valid concern, but I actually feel best about the Steem community's ability to respond to threats, when compared to all the other alternatives.
