we have discussed this issue on previous on occasions...and i'm sure it will be solved but it's the same problem the internet has....i'm not smart enough to suggest any solutions for this one.

It's a different problem. With the general Internet, when illegal content springs up it can generally be dealt with (speed & mechanisms dependent on the type of content), and the rest of the Internet chugs along just fine. Systems that try to combat that (tor etc) do so with sophisticated techniques, and it's a cat & mouse game against the authorities.

Fact is, we are hosting a blockchain that allows arbitrary data to be stored in it, with no mechanism to remove it, and hoping that people won't take advantage of that in a way that harms us. Is that wise?

so what do you suggest we do to fix this problem.

I also am not smart enough. I hope the community is.

What I don't want is for us to stick our collective heads in the sand, when we may have an opportunity now to do something before it bites us.

I'd like to clarify that my comments here are not meant to be pro- or anti-censorship, and I mean no moral judgement in any of this. I have a modest investment in nxt, and I don't want that investment to go down the toilet.
