We logged on to find this notice which must be accepted to continue. That's new.
In these rules we find a lot of references to "inappropriate content" being deleted, problem accounts being banned, and warnings against doing anything "unlawful". We aren't sure if that's always how Steemit has been, but it doesn't matter.
Different than FaceBook and Instagram. Accepting of activists doing peaceful civil disobedience of harmful laws. But no, the message sent today is clear - Steemit will gladly turn us (and our data) over to police if requested.
Not quite the decentralized haven it seemed. People tout Steemit as "uncensorable" and "permanent", but there's nothing blockchain about it. This is just another blog site, with owners, who allow certain content and censor as needed. And which bows to harmful unjust local laws.
And where is the "any day now" update that will allow better signups, first promised almost a year ago?
What we thought Steemit was, will come along soon. Somebody is probably already working on it :)
To our fans, we offer this photo we took of a tasty slab of shatter.
