RE: Possible lawsuit threatened against Steemit
Surely this has come up before with other social media platforms... how has Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, etc all dealt with it's users posting content that they do not have the copyright to. I'm sure there's a User Service Agreement somewhere that says that anything you post is your responsibility and not the responsibility of the platform...
The difference is, you can't delete anything from the blockchain. Facebook servers you can hit delete
I thought I read somewhere when ned was talking about some sort of legal concept it is covered under but I cant find it at this point. I cant think of what it is akin too either but if I find it I will post it to you.
I know people have gotten things pulled of say youtube for example but as far as I understand I don't think there is a real way to take things off the blockchain. They may be able to block things in a way from the steemit front end but I have no idea how courts would see this.
From Steem ToS:
It's interesting what you said earlier, that the plantiff has no agreement with Steemit, but it sounds like Steemit would just direct the plantiff to the user who was profiting off their work.
Thanks for that!
Yea that comment about him having "no agreement" was in another of his tweets. Interesting where he goes from here.
