Nexus & "Social Coin" ICO - A Steem / Facebook Competitor About To Launch (And Faceplant) - Week 1 ICO Ongoing, ICO Buyback Structure

  1. Steemit is still far from Google in terms of data stored, but even the strongest links in the witnesses chain are far from Google's data center.
  2. Google has only 1 data center, which may probably be backed up once or even twice, but Steemit has to have many more backups.
  3. Google can delete when necessary, Steemit still does not.

A future hard fork could discard all flagged/hidden content in the future, yes?

I'm not saying this would even be a good thing, necessarily, but the potential is there to shed parts of the database based on witness consensus?

Good points, thanks for the information.

Automatic deletion of flagged content is a bad idea, due to reasons @seraph exists for, and for more reasons Steemit exists for.
Still, there should be additional judgement (human, or even AI) taken prior to a deletion.
But deletion must be done, because the current Steemit model is self-defeating.
Look at sherlockholmes' work.
How this place demands deletions

Yeah, that's what I meant. Not an automatic deletion so much as community-agreed guidelines for filtering some stuff for deletion.

I really like the concept though the content can only be hidden, deleting blocks will actually de-value steem if im right.
