RE: Dark Overlords are coming to a blockchain near you... What to do?
A strong democracy should be able to stand information which even the majority is considering as false.
Why can´t the Steem chain be that place where also obvious nonsense is allowed to be dumped?
I would cut the line if e.g. child porn is dispayed. Maybe not consistent, but in this case I would favor deletion.
Btw. the Steemit blocking of that account is pathetic. If you just replace the "it" with "peak", you come to the steempeak frontend where the censorship obviously didn´t happen
The hacker group members are common criminals, nothing else. They have said things to that effect. They're in it for the money and do not care about the consequences of their actions. A private US company running a website is fully within its rights - and its obligations - to censor criminal content. No content has been removed from the blockchain. No need for anyone to get worked up.
Sorry, I was not aware about the actual content. In how far was the content criminal? Because it was criminal the way they obtained it?
The content was criminal because it was stolen.
This is exactly the problem space: behaviour X is ok by you, and behaviour Y "cuts the line."
Others have varied opinions.
How do we as a community decide what to do, when opinions differ?
Agree, it is very difficult.
