first i was confused with the terms. second i cringed.
last year the south korean president was put in jail for having a whitelist. it's anti freedom. dictatorship. outright criminal.
when i look at the post, people seem to applaud it. it's kinda strange.
i could care less about terms like 'oracle'. but 'whitelists' and 'verification' is huge. it's how kim jung un works. forget @dan. this is the one thing that could bring down steemit faster than anything else.
personally i don't think there should even be a list. and steemit inc burning their own steem power seems unlikely.
but @ned did hint to changes so.. let's hope.
