What to do if you want to delete a post?

It's good personal practice to get in that habit anyway. There's no delete key in real life and everything you post online you should assume is there to stay in an archive somewhere. Even stuff deleted from Facebook... do you think that stuff is actually deleted or is Mark Z holding that blackmail on the server somewhere for some time when it suits Facebook's purposes?

sorry, makes no sense for a platform like Steemit ... when I write a technical article, and technical details, download links, properties or specifications change, I have NO WAY of updating them after just 1 week?

This is ridiculous and makes the platform annoying and unusable for every technical author who cares about keeping his readers up to date and well-informed.

It really is a mistake not to be able to delete the messages, which can throughout the project be lost, as it can cause many legal problems to users for comments made, in cases of double understanding or that no longer corresponds to the reality of the person after a certain period of time posting.

A suggestion to solve the problem would be if the post remains active until payment .. After it is up to the author to continue with the active post to continue receiving votes, or have the possibility to delete it. Otherwise it should only work for journalists, because it makes me apprehensive to continue posting and end up making some mistakes in the posts and comments for not having experience in the field.

I’ve just found out about this and it means Steemit could very well be in breach of a European Law called GDPR. Residents have the right to download their data in full and have that data deleted if they request it.

Anyone have Steemit have a comment?

It also begs the issue on what D.Tube will say if someone posts illegal content or someone gets a court order instructing content to get taken down. What would d.tube do in that regard?

I think we need some answers here.
