RE: Quick Thought on Steemit Catfish

in #introduceyourself8 years ago

There are also potential legal implications from catfishing, especially on Steem, since you are attempting to directly profit by stealing another person's identity. Even on Facebook it is illegal (as far as I know) to make a fake profile of another person. Here, you add in the fact that catfish are profiting from stealing those identities, and it is almost certainly illegal.
