I guess it has been long since I last rendered any contribution on utopia because I've been choked up..but am back!
During my SWAP street campaign where I and my team walked on the streets of Uyo preaching the good news of steemit, I was faced with a question; "What kinda posts can you make on steemit?".
I was kinda too fast to answer: "Anything...you can actually post anything even porn and nude pictures..."
"What! Nude pictures? You're joking,..." they said.
Just when I was trying to help them register on steemit, they discovered its not limited to a certain age bracket. They queried me, trying to find out why... I couldn't give an answer as I actually don't think its cool..
If steemit is a social media that accommodates all sort of information like pornography and naked pictures, then it should be rated 18+. This is to ensure our kids attain the age of certain mental maturity before being exposed to certain information.
My Proposition
These are the steps for sign up...
There should be an age limit to steemit sign up dimmed fit even if its not 18+ as different countries and backgrounds has different age brackets regulating matured contents like the nsfw found on steemit.
Like this...
Benefit
To ensure morality is not abused and the universe is still a safe place. When immature kids ar exposed to this, it could cause social vices like rape, etc as they lack the mental maturity.

I didn't think of this there is no censorship, saying that i haven't seen anything rule. Lets just hope people don't ruin it with video/ pictures of people getting there heads cut off and that. Facebook had it bad for while

I will say I don't agree with this on the basic merits. One of the beacons to blockchain technology is that it's censorship-resistant. To impose an age wall (which would be imposed how exactly by Steemit, which would now have to become a central authority for censorship)? would not only elicit a standard bereft from most of the world-wide-web now, but would damper the velocity for adoption. Sites like VICE (which insists that you'll be paid to watch porn)and eventual copycats will most likely off-load the moral data argument away from places like this and d.tube. Alcoholic beverage sites have a litebox because they have to, not because their morally desiring to inform the public of the obvious. Having a call-to-action radio button that is are you 18 is innocuous, and by the measure of building out an age wall to kids that says "don't come here" is going to draw them here more. Having the query box does nothing but infuse an old rubicon into a platform attempting to move away from old and failed states of thinking in the communication space. Places like Steemit are a deliberate effort to move away from the gross, corrupt, and inadequate web of the past 15 years, which took away the free and decentralized web of the previous 8 before that. I elect not attempting to force horse-carriage technology into an automobile.

This is a very good idea I'm the sense that ponography and nude are mea t for adult.....rating the social media eighteen isn't the problem but ensuring that the person registering is actually to 18 is the issue here.....cause most people will just adjust their birth year backwards just to complete their registration and come onboard......if this is to be enforced, the r registration will be done at Cardiff centres and a general review of all Steemit account will be done so as to cancel all account that is owned by minors.....
Thanks boss @onyemacourage
