No, they probably don't! The amount of strange looks I have got today already from trying to explain memo - I think people think immutability is a negative at first.

Yes, they do. General public certainly think immutability on social media is negative. There is a big initiative in EU, to push for a law for 'the right to be forgotten' on Internet.

For social media, perhaps . . but for public media - for journalists, politicians, maybe some celebs, (the good part of twitter) immutability is best. Blockchain is best for that.

The difference is in WHO gets to see your permanent record. With memo it's forever available to everyone. With FB etc. it's available to the highest bidder and otherwise censorable.

Yeah, it's fair game on memo. The rules apply to everyone. You can't blame anyone but yourself since you have the freedom to participate, or exclude yourself otherwise.

Everything you put online, stays online forever. That's kind of the rule of the Internet. Somewhere out there, in some remote server, your data lies. Even they say they've "deleted" it

Seems like a fallacy to me, even editing or deleting on today's internet is only user facing. Big Corp still has the cards. I am American and am not familiar with that, interesting.
