a thought this morning: assuming Zora & Rodeo’s ‘creative social’ model aims to reach more normies, it will always stay a place for creators/artists posting pictures of their own work only OR photos that people take themselves of non-copyrighted material. Web2 socials brush the question of copyrighted material under the carpet most of the time and ppl mostly just accept it because the person posting isn’t making money from the post. For eg) I can post photos of an exhibition I went to without any backlash on Instagram. If I were to do the same on Zora or Rodeo, and earn money from a photo of an artists work on display, this could quickly involve commercialised copyright issues. So posting certain forms of content on these platforms is defacto limited. If the apps do indeed scale one day to involve millions of users that aren’t aware of these legalities, how would these platforms respond? wondering if anyone else has thought about this.

have thought about this and it will for sure become a huge issue. posts on the blockchain can’t be “deleted” but the platforms will probably have to implement some censorship/hide/report tooling that removes problematic posts from the interface. the question will be — who is responsible? the platform for facilitating this or the poster for violating copyright laws? at what point does the fish become big enough for offended parties to send out the legal team?

in the US / for US-hosted platforms this is covered by section 230 + DMCA. individual posters are liable, but platform has an obligation to remove copyrighted material at request of copyright holder. think of a regime like YouTube's

yep, been wondering about all of these questions as well. also seems like a lotttt of waste of block space to remove posts that still remain inscribed somewhere on the blockchain.
