RE: D.Tube 0.4: Serious UI Lifting & IPFS Backup & New Domain & More
In regards to setting up an XXX/NSFW type site. There are certain legal requirements uploaders of XXX explicit type content and the sites that host them are required to abide by (a special federal form about no under age actors along with proof of identity) that you might need to look into, vs the way it is now where you just have a general NSFW tag for anything that should be considered NSFW. IANAL but you might want to look into that.
I had to provide the ID's for both myself and my wonderful friend and playmate @pupmisfit before we could post videos to xtube as an example.
I'm not 100% sure we will do the porn site. Probably after we open source the app someone will do it on his own, I hope. I'm not sure the regulations you are talking about apply on every country, etc. Personally not too interested into going into that, I just would like to be able to remove all NSFW from DTube in the end, but right now there is no alternative for this type of content so it stays in 'hidden' mode, people need to go into the menu to be able to see these 'nsfw' videos.
Might be an idea to let people flag their accounts "nsfw" so that if their channel page is visited you could provide a dialog indicating that the user posts a lot of "nsfw" content with the option to show the channel with nsfw content displayed or not. I'm thinking a username/channel specific dialog that reacts based on a custom json user account set preference in the blockchain.
Reasoning: If someone visits a channel via a posted link, and all the nsfw content is fully hidden the channel may appear empty and it is not obvious to the visitor that they have to hit a gear icon to see that there is actually content available in the channel.
I could also see this as a possible option for the main steemit blog as well.
Some channels/blogs, when visited directly, should be able to indicate their in general nsfw status.
