RE: A Steemit X-Prize - A Competition to Brainstorm Ideas for Promotion and Marketing

Thanks. It's a difficult issue and something for the community to decide. The question for me comes down to whether the content is illegal.

Anything that breaks laws is not only going to create bad PR but is likely to get the authorities cracking down on it and any prominent members of the community. The involvement of payments makes it even more likely.

We have already had DMCA issues and I suspect that such a platform will attract a lot of copyright infringement. Let us see what other community members think.

Good point about the DMCA issues. One of the drawbacks of a censorship-resistant platform is that it's difficult to "censor" when you're obliged to....

Exactly and the problem is that the authorities aren't very understanding of that fact!

Come with the techno-libertarian model of technology outpacing governments, I'm afraid. :)
