What can you say about it?




This is very alarming! This raises ethical questions about immutable ledgers that allow anyone to add unmoderated data to a shared, immutable record. It's part of the tension between this hard to modify data structure, the blockchain, and the requirements in certain pockets of law. In the U.S., it can manifest itself in child pornography. In Europe, it can manifest itself in the right to be forgotten.
