RE: New Steemit Preview w/ Notifications and Medium Style Editor

in #steem7 years ago

Edit needs to be be permanent, especially in cases where someone uses a copyrighted image and the owner asks them to take it down. How would this be possible, unless Steemit hires someone to clean old posts manually?

Sort:  

Edits are permanent now. That is the problem, after 30 days you cannot ever fix or delete the things you post.

Using your copyrighted image scenario, no one can remove infringing content to fix a DMCA request after 30 days because Steemit Disabled the Edit and Delete commands after 30 days.

The choice is either to support the user's rights to maintain and control their info, or to support refusing DMCA takedown requests.

Thank you for the question, this DMCA example explains the problem they are causing much better.
