RE: A quick look at Steem inflation as Q3 comes to a close
Steemit's latest ToS changes.
... and that is even less pleasing... I didn't know about these changes before.
Can you explain this to somebody who doesn't understand what the significance of this is?
Do you follow the link in the final note?
The No. 2 of terms of service have been changed. The "last update" is definitly wrong. Now you can only use Steemit if you:
These restrictions were added just a few weeks ago. Before that, there was only an age restriction. The removing of the age limit was announced here and here - at the end of the post. But not that residents of certain countries are no longer allowed to use the platform.
Does this answer your question?
Thank you - It does and I did wonder if that’s what you were referring to. Has anybody questioned the Steemit Team on this? I didn’t see anything in the comments.
I wonder if they’re just covering their arses so that they avoid content censorship lawsuits or similar in those countries…?
I haven't. I didn't want to draw a lot of attention to it by replying to steemitblog/sc01, and I don't have a way to contact them privately. That's part of the reason I touched on it lightly, here. Hoping that sc01 might notice and clarify.
I did read something about the terms of service only applying to the Steemit.com domain and not the blockchain itself. So you’ll just need your own front-end 😉
They’re strange terms though considering the Beijing HQ and US staff!
Right! That's reassuring, isn't it? ;-)
I thought the company HQ is in the USA. Michelangelo3 did a little research on this.
It makes a lot of sense - then you can see just the content that you want to see 🙂
It moved to Beijing when Tron took over... I don't know if there's still an official office in the US but I'm fairly sure there isn't. I believe that most of the Steemit team work remotely although I'm fairly sure that the developers work out of the Beijing office.

It looks like a nice place to work with their very own running track.
The tatami room looks like something out of a lunatic asylum with padded walls.
@tronbeary should appear more heavily on Steemit... I think I'll work on making that happen.
Just don't invite Lil' Tronbeary. She's too jolly for my liking.
Oh, tronbeary is a new account... something great is awaits us ;-))
Ha ha - probably nothing great but it'll be interesting to see if the Steemit team pick up on it 😆
