I second this nog. The second I see downflaggin' come from any of these services collecting peoples posting keys used without their 100% consent on the matter "flagmaggedon" won't be the issue..
It won't be with flags either that the services are shut down with. Flags are an on-chain method to make comments / posts less visible. However given the power these posting key sites have the second it's started to become abused extreme measures will be taken against them.
With great power comes great responsibility else comes corruption.
Agreed. We don't need some mean tempered mofia style flagging service that obviously has whale backing;
Mafia? lol "Steem Flag Mafia" Kinda sounds scary, I guess.
In the end it all comes down to popularity vote and who can deploy a DDOS faster in the event things gets out of hand. Which it very well may.
And if it does, A number of folks are ready to hop on that situation to take away the threat. Certainly wouldn't expect anything less.
One of the only constants throughout human history is war, to expect anything less regardless of the medium or weapon used is silly.
