RE: Brendan Eich Says Blockchain Is a Wrong Tool For Task and He Knows About Hive

When user decides to delete the data they will simply remove decrypting privileges.

By telling apps that they should no longer show a certain encrypted data. You'd have to trust apps to keep the keys safe and to honor your request.

Perhaps a separate decryption service could be built. That entity and the author would be the only entities in possession of the key needed to decrypt a piece of content, each of which would be encrypted with a unique key.

Perhaps the blockchain should not hold the text content at all but only a hash of it against which to test every version that potentially claims to be the original. The content could be self-hosted by the author him/herself or on some sort of peer-to-peer networks if additional resistance to censorship is needed.

There is no reason why an app like this using Hive could not be developed.
