Request to remove account from search engines #3659

Open 0xjesus opened 3 years ago

0xjesus commented 3 years ago

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to remove my account from the search engines.

onozasi commented 3 years ago

You should probably send this request to the search engine in question or take the content down.

Although it doesn't mean that the record of your content can be deleted from the blockchain.

I know the content can't be deleted, and contact every search engine it would be no practical...is it not possible to just remove from the steemit front my account?

onozasi commented 3 years ago

That is very possible. But don't forget that if steemit takes the content down (that is if they even attend to your request), it still can be shown on other frontends because it's still on the BLOCKCHAIN!!!!! .....

But not all frontends index accounts on search engines

syvb commented 3 years ago

@us3r01 Steemit uses this list for determining which accounts to hide. of course other frontends have their own lists.

Ok, so how is the process if I'd like to add my account to that list?
