I think an automatic services, or services shall be created to take out malicious referrals, or even better, malicious URLs (referrals are nothing more than a URL and can be embedded behind words, images and other content.

If a blacklist of malicious sites can be created then posts that feature those can be automatically flagged. It's possible if a list is there.
some flagging accounts are available on Steemit; blacklist-a for instance. I suppose also others maybe available, but dont know them. Ok, I think I know who owns blacklista, I'll reach out to him.
