RE: How Being Anonymous on Steem Blockchain Will Save You from Trouble

in #steemit7 years ago

Yes, having your photo's and identity on Steemit, or any of the other apps that use STEEM Blockchain could present problems at any time in the future.
Supposedly censorship free if you say things illegal in your country or do/post something else illegal in your country on Steemit, you could be in for trouble at any time...blockchain is forever as you tell us.
Being annonymous is a right we all have and should consider using more.
Crypto we may earn is also recorded in time on the blockchain...beware the tax man coming in the future.

Exactly.. i absolutely agree with you...

It's not just the STEEM Blockchain that presents privacy issues. As I understand it (not too much) all blockchains store their data forever, this can present issues of copyright infringement legal actions against the holder/uploader of infringing material maybe not now, but maybe a year, or ten years later..
dTube for example could potentially have legal issues in future if users upload copyright materials without licence or if nodes store any IPFS files that infringe copyrights.
then there's the issue of copyright being different in most countries, US copyright seems the most widespread (they expect it to be universal) Some things are out of copyright in certain countries but still under copyright in the US...so the content makes it to a blockchain which is decentralized...so the dilema begins.
It's an exciting transforming world we live in and laws will have to evolve.
