RE: Report about Steemit's detoriation

in #steem4 years ago

Everyone here of course is already aware about the changed terms and conditions that make it illegal to talk about Hive (of course only being enforced on people that uncover Justin's lies).

Is it? Is it illegal to talk about Hive on Steemit? Or on the Steem blockchain? Or on both? If yes, then Justin Sun is really the Mark Zuckerberg of Steemit (and of the Steem blockchain).

As I understand your post, it is on the Steem blockchain.

But now I checked it, and the current last update of the Terms of Service of Steemit is 2018.06.15, and the "Hive" word is not mentioned in it in any way.

Effort has been made to get real community witnesses in, while the API unknowing to most people still there is being censored so even steempeak.com doesn't show the censored posts anymore.

I honestly did not knew this. Looks like some people (including me) are still able to talk about Hive in the posts and comments on Steemit without any problem, which means that the censorship is not 100%.

Sort:  

He added a term about not being allowed to talk about competing services. Also the censorship is being done quite carefully, e.g. waiting a day before the messages disappear. It's like a shadowban, to increase blame to the Hive side, because people can go like, look I am not banned (but e.g. many of those people for example saying "we will not freeze anyone's account" are now burned by the .8888 softfork that forces them to do just that...).

I cannot find that point either. And why the "Last Updated" date of the Terms of Service is not updated, if it is updated this year? I know that promoting third-party platforms (and each other) is not allowed on Steemit (14.1.7 of the Terms of Service), but which point of the Terms of Service is forbidding to talk about competing services?

You are right, this element wasn't in the terms of service before, this is the part they added. The fuss about it has appeared on chain but I can imagine you didn't see that.

When you look up that page on The Internet Archive with Javascript turned off to avoid the page refreshing to an empty page, even as short ago as end January 2020, you see that 14.1 only has 6 points. As late as 2020, in fact up to the purchase by Justin Sun.
