I am sorry @lexiconical, I get where you are coming from, and that most people here are counterculture and they don't believe much in the government, etc etc...
But I believe this is the type of unserious attitude that might end steemit...
If we as a community don't take these things a bit more seriously, steemit is going to become famous as this weird shithole online where you can go and phish, spam, hack & scam unsuspecting victims without any repercussion...
