RE: What's In The 9/11 Papers?
It's the same with TDO content on steempeak.com, can't see it any more:
You're right that content can't be removed from the Steem blockchain - that's why it's still visible on busy.org. The guys at steemit and steempeak obviously feel strongly about it for whatever reason and have blocked TDO content. But any UI that 'reads' the blockchain can still access what TDO posted.
Steemit is not Steem and neither is Steempeak. Both are Interfaces for interacting with the Steem blockchain. The people who 'control' these interfaces have decided to block TDO content on their sites! Steempeak claims copyright and privacy violations (image above). It seems very strange to me that they are doing this and I do not understand why, although I can speculate!
:)
Wow, Thank you Barge. I was very relieved to see it still on the blockchain as that is the Entire Bloody Point of the thing! ( You had One Job!! ) Copyright!! that is so rich! Well good, the steem blockchain worked as advertised and wow there is some serious reach if they got to Steemit.org
I real hope this is not the case as it completely undermines the ethos os Steemit. How can someone be banded from it this is SHOCKING news 💯🐒
The information is still on the blockchain, it cannot be removed. Only access to it can be blocked by the website you use to 'read' the blockchain. Anyone with the skills can write software to read the blockchain. It is unlike Facebook in this regard.
Steemit and Steempeak however, as interfaces to 'read' the blockchain, have IMO exhibited Facebook-like behaviour by blocking certain content from being displayed.
Perhaps this is inevitable when there are vested interests (including fears) that come into play. Perhaps there is pressure being applied. The 'official' reason seems to be (from Steemit) that the 'hacking' violates T&C.
Yes I have found it on Steempeak. A overreaction on my part of Steempeek shows it a blocked but by clicking on the dots you can expand and read it. Nice one 💯🐒
