RE: PSA: Do not send your Steem or SBD to Poloniex

They are running a social media network no matter how they classify themselves as bogusly decentralized or centralized. They could drop the social media description I guess and that could then indemnify them from having an obligation to protect their users.

Since their self-described as a social media platform they have an obligation to protect their users against known scams. How they choose to do that is up to them. Inaction is not acceptable.

Sort:  

What's magic about social media that it places a higher burden of user protection that another type of website.

Don't got me wrong, I absolutely view this as a huge problem, I just don't expect them to act the way you are hoping and I see that they have their reasons. I'm not even saying their reasons are valid.
