A few days ago certain "royal rulers" threatened - with the help of ransomware - to uncover documents relating to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Obviously, Twitter quickly banned hackers' accounts. However, sensors sometimes attack unexpected places, and therefore STEEMIT (STEEM) also prohibits landlords from the platform.

Addition: the blockchain STEEM must be separated from the publisher "Steemit". Published information is stored ad vitam æternam on the blockchain, but Steemit has the right to display it or not. This explains why Busy keeps posting landlord articles. Thanks to Sébastien Bellamy for his comments in the comments.

Force majeure clause from Steemit

Among the important features that the crypto community is proud of, freedom of expression has a good place. This is why it is surprising to hear about sensors in this space, especially from Steemit, the famous "uncensored blogging platform". But we learned yesterday that the platform has banned landlords.

Like most online services, the requirements for using Steemit have what is called "force majeure" ("god" clause). In fact, this means that Steemit can close the account as he pleases.

"We may suspend or stop your access to the Service at our own discretion, without delay and without notice, and delete or disable your steemit.com account and all related information and files at no charge to you, including, for example, if you violate the terms of the Agreement this. "Extract from Steemit Terms of Use

One can - without too much power - consider that the landlord deliberately violates the terms of use:

"You may not use our services to pay for, support or engage in any activity that is prohibited by law, including, but not limited to, illegal gambling, fraud, money laundering, or banking activities. Financing terrorism."

Steemit blacklist

This is not the first for Steemit: a list of blacklisted users already exists. If not for a long time, he still has six users including the latest addition to "master king".

Steemit blacklist on Github

It is always possible to see all account items that are blocked through the Busy platform, which publishes Steemit content and makes it unchanged.

Is Steemit on a slippery slope, or is it just a rational reaction from a private company that refuses to deal with any "criminal" activity? This debate - as usual - was launched in the cryptosphere.
