At some point @thedarkoverlord's account and posts were hidden from steemit.com, alternative viewing portals for STEEM blockchain posts listed below are still active to stay up to date with new developments.
Just in case there are new people here, that don't know the backstory. A few years ago Iran announced a missile launch and officially released a photo that showed four rockets taking off. This photo -released by the government went on the front page of newspapers around the world overnight. Then the internet came to the rescue. Someone, I forgot who, pointed out that only three rockets went off, the fourth one failed and they used basic photo shop to fake it. Instantly, to everyone, it was obvious. The Internet then had a field day improving the rest of the failed launch photos. Freedom of speech is important.
and yet, it's almost like you can still see everything they've ever posted, or something, and could even spin up your own condenser instance quickly to customize that even further... ¯_(ツ)_/¯ https://steemd.com/@thedarkoverlord
Don't get in a huff and be condescending, it's not an effective form of argument and makes you look petulant. You are claiming that their content is not held in an immutable blockchain. You are wrong. You also claimed that you want nothing to do with these sewer rats, and you now have front ends that morally/ethically/legally align with your viewpoint, and will protect you from seeing said content. It seems to me that both parties here got exactly what they needed.
You do realize this isn't the first account blocked from being viewed on Steemit.com, right? And you also realize that if Steemit.com begins choosing not to serve content/accounts based on their own chosen metrics, there are many options available to either see, or post, because the Steem blockchain is immutable?
I know you feel like you're making a brilliant point here, but you pinged me here questioning the immutability factor, and haven't really said anything related to that since. They are bad actors, and some front ends will choose not to show their content or interact with their accounts. I'm sorry to inform you that that does not change the way the blockchain works.
Wow. Thanks for pointing this out. This is very disappointing! I will admit I have never bought most of the traditional 911 conspiracy theories. (Yes, this means I may have a few minor non-traditional ones.) But it has been 15+ years since this all happened. I don't believe they have found anything, -since I don't believe in the traditional conspiracy theories- but given the fact I could be wrong, they deserve a chance to show me the evidence of my foolishness. (actually I was just going to let the rest of you screen it for me) and prove to the world alternative things happened. The fact that Steemit is allowing people to repress this information is a major downfall for the voice of freedom. It is like 1984. Are you in the corrections department going back in time and snipping out newspaper articles to change what happened?
There needs to be a better conversation about what happened, and social accountability. They want a platform. If steemit cannot be a platform for them, then does that mean all the claims of open unchangable history are lies?
Truth, transparency and accountability are important. Blockchain, Blogging, and comments can help provide that. If better technical solutions are needed, let's invent them. (A pop up warning--- you are requesting access to something that is claimed to be untrue; evaluate all claims carefully yourself.)
I guess I am the odd man out, whatever. I don't think we should allow our blockchain to be the place cyber criminals come to attempt extort money. The FBI probably called Steemit and told them to remove. You guys understand there is all sorts of content that you cannot host legally?
You think homeland security can't stop information here? If a court orders us to remove something ie copyrighed material, slander, ISIS recruitment, child porn etc and we try this nonsense about it only gets removed from the front end they will go after every witness and every server in the USA.
How come torrent sites aren't moving to the blockchain, or darkweb drug sites? You think we can just thumb our noses at the law and say we are decentralized and they can't do shit? I disagree, they can do lots, including destroy us.
Hey look, Steemit is a censorship proof platfor......nevermind.

A clever answer, but not very intelligent.
Why would a third party like steemit block these dark web sewer rats?

Its not about you or me or them, or the content...
Steemit took the unprecedented step to block their account. Right? What does this mean.
Could be anyone's account in the future.
