RE: France and Facebook announce partnership against online hate speech – POLITICO
Is the blockchain editable? I'd say you can edit comments and posts in the blockchain BUT the original post is still in the blockchain. Only the edited version is shown to users of Steemit, Steempeak etc.
My understanding is that part of the HF-20 was to allow for it to become editable,although not by the general users. I might be wrong.
Well I think anyone can edit their own old posts. Not sure who other would be able to do that, as there are no moderators or such.
I see this is true. I'm pretty certain that until just now I had never found this possible. I know that I could edit within the 7-day window, but the older posts were locked.
For me this is actually pretty good news. I want to create a structured blog using Steemit and this will allow me to link together multiple posts.
Unfortunately, this does open the door to potential censorship from the administration. Lets see how firm the owners of this community are when the push comes to shove.
Growing up in the 1970s and '80s I had always taken for granted that freedom of expression was the bedrock our civilization was founded upon, but in recent years I've become increasingly concerned that these freedoms are not as solid as I had once believed.
Well I'll just repeat this, there is no administration who could edit your post unless you've given your keys or password to them.
If the post editing from "administrators" would be possible, I'm assuming they could have done it in the past during the 7 day edit window.
