Steem, like (I assume) all other social platforms, started out with good intentions, but are prone to misuse. The ethical dilemma is difficult - should we ban an entire technology just because it may be used for evil? Probably not. But in my view, the Steem blockchain, with anarchy build into the platform, gives the wrong kind of people a playground for all sorts of illegal stuff.

Let's spread our concerns to the Steem community, and hope that this will influnce the developers to take appropriate actions, if such exists.
