It's pure fud, even though it is actually true. It shouldn't be a surprise that it is possible to store different kinds of data on the blockchain, so I don't see why they make a big deal out of it. It's just another attempt to bring Bitcoin down, but it won't be doing anything, where the less we talk about it, the less relevance it gets. People can upload disgusting images and video's on YouTube as well, where their algorithm needs some time to analyze the content and to remove it. Should we sue YouTube for that? Should they halt their entire operations and have their head quarters raided because of that? It's an attempt to scare off the average joe....

Not to mention extremely old hat news. This caused the same flurry of concern almost five years ago when similar data was found in the blockchain. I've been reading more and more now recycled news. Seems the theory about media being in cycles about Bitcoin is true after all. We'll probably hear about it again in 2023, when people forget and move on.

Either journalists are getting lazy or some troll ran out of energy to find something new.

Well, thanks for bringing that up, I almost believe it. I also read the same discussion content regarding this issue in my local social media news, and I was a bit worried that it might affect market price. But nah, this is totally a FUD, how could a system liable of all financial records and transactions store a different content?
