If there is anything I tried to establish about myself on STEEM, it's that I have strong moral standards.
I don't take these exploits lightly.
I consider the procedure you described above not only morally wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's actually illegal in most countries.
I would appreciate if you join our german discussion about the potential future risk of IP-Crimes at the Link above.
To our state of understanding, the scenario i've sarcasticly described could become an real threat to this plattform and its users.
Speaking from an Users standpoint:
What if i've carelessly used an Image from Google two years ago and get sued now? Does Steem provides any Option to get my own Content down?
Following the Quote from @Oliverschmid, we've discussed if it is possible to implement an Option to 'delete' problematic Content long after the 7-Day-Period by adding an Tag to not show the content anymore. We assumed, that this feature is already active for an Post which stays on the Chain without being displayed after it has been edited.
Would it be possible to add this "Hide-Content" Feature into HF20 or is the infrastructure already there, so only the Front-Ends have to adapt?
