RE: A quick look at Steem inflation as Q3 comes to a close
Do you follow the link in the final note?
The No. 2 of terms of service have been changed. The "last update" is definitly wrong. Now you can only use Steemit if you:
are not (including but not limited to the following) a citizen, resident, or organization of the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan (province of China), Hong Kong (SAR of China), the United States and Singapore
These restrictions were added just a few weeks ago. Before that, there was only an age restriction. The removing of the age limit was announced here and here - at the end of the post. But not that residents of certain countries are no longer allowed to use the platform.
Does this answer your question?
Thank you - It does and I did wonder if that’s what you were referring to. Has anybody questioned the Steemit Team on this? I didn’t see anything in the comments.
I wonder if they’re just covering their arses so that they avoid content censorship lawsuits or similar in those countries…?
I haven't. I didn't want to draw a lot of attention to it by replying to steemitblog/sc01, and I don't have a way to contact them privately. That's part of the reason I touched on it lightly, here. Hoping that sc01 might notice and clarify.
I did read something about the terms of service only applying to the Steemit.com domain and not the blockchain itself. So you’ll just need your own front-end 😉
They’re strange terms though considering the Beijing HQ and US staff!
Right! That's reassuring, isn't it? ;-)
I thought the company HQ is in the USA. Michelangelo3 did a little research on this.
It makes a lot of sense - then you can see just the content that you want to see 🙂
It moved to Beijing when Tron took over... I don't know if there's still an official office in the US but I'm fairly sure there isn't. I believe that most of the Steemit team work remotely although I'm fairly sure that the developers work out of the Beijing office.

It looks like a nice place to work with their very own running track.
The tatami room looks like something out of a lunatic asylum with padded walls.
@tronbeary should appear more heavily on Steemit... I think I'll work on making that happen.
Just don't invite Lil' Tronbeary. She's too jolly for my liking.
Oh, tronbeary is a new account... something great is awaits us ;-))
Ha ha - probably nothing great but it'll be interesting to see if the Steemit team pick up on it 😆
