Dear @rufusfirefly
Thank you for your kind reply
The Dark Overlord has already posted extortionate content, so they may end up destroying this blockchain.
I'm afraid I've lost you here :( Would you mind explaining to me what do you mean?
ps. Indeed China proved that it is possible. Mostly because their gov has pretty much absolute power. With western countries it may be more difficult simply because people seem to be more rebelious and we have some rights. But yeah, blockchains are not immune. Just like you said.
Yours,
Piotr
The Dark Overload is a group of hackers who try to extort money from their victims. They were banned from several sites to prevent them from coordinating their actions and posting threats. They came to STEEM because of the lack of control. Steemit.com banned them from it's interface, but they still use the blockchain. So far, they have had only a short burst of activity two months ago. They posted an extortion attempt involving an actress's breast augmentation photos. Then, allegedly not receiving payment, they posted the photos. It was a poor attempt: Two headshots of a blonde actress and before and after pictures of a long-haired blonde with no way to tell if they were the same person.
