YSK: Whatever you put on-chain š STAYS on the chain
š” Just a friendly reminder that blockchain is immutable
š But, what is and what shouldn't be immutable
š Politicians/Celebs etc. "whitewashing" their history
š Individuals wanting to be forgotten?
Content can "marked as" hidden, but not deleted and not forgotten.
Any transaction can be viewed on the block explorer, or through graphQL.
An example of what could happen, e.g.
- User posts a innocuous post
- It gets traction, diamonds, reposts
- They then edit it to be something illegal
(how do the other users feel at that point)
- They then move into a more public-facing/high-profile position and "whitewash" their history
- They hide that post
Interested in the debate this has already sparked.
What are your thoughts?
Replaced the image as @Brootle seemed sensitive to me using his test account for the example. But this example depicts what could happen more succinctly...
