Privacy and child protection on steemit - how is this enforced?
Hi,
learning about steemit and using it for some days a lot of questions come to my mind. I'm new to this cryptocurrency world and "blockchain". I am concerned that the current mainly positive and constructive atmosphere can turn to the contrary once the "mainstream masses" arrive at steemit and probably influence the sentiment and atmosphere here then.
I doubt that just "positive selection" of upvoting valuable content will be enough to keep unwanted and illegal content out and to keep steemit a positive and welcoming place.
And if positive content is upvoted, the problematic content won't disappear and can still be found at steemit.
People do not always act rational, sensible, constructive and positive.
How will steemit handle personal attacks and name calling, extreme pornography and violence, violation of personal privacy, internet bullying, racism, hate speech and discrimination?
Which are the functions and features to keep steemit family friendly and safe for children or minors to visit? What if there are discriminating or hateful posts against minorities?
So will there be some kind of moderation like in other discussion forums? How should that work?
My concern is this: If there is a lot of garbage and negative stuff spreading without getting contained, limited or eliminated over time the good people who are interested in constructive discussions and providing quality content will leave. And well-minded and well-intented readers / curators probably as well. And more and more trolls, haters and other negative mindet people will come like flies to a pile of male bovine excrement accelerating the way downhill even more.
Having a free unmoderated virtual world is great for creative people, but negative for positive and constructive people if the trolls and haters are free to run rampant then.
I like the idea of steemit, but I'm concerned.
P.S (Disclaimer: English is not my first language, but I think You got my point)
