I wonder if the contract supports a way to pull posts when some shitlord posts CP

I wonder too. Most likely can pull em from whatever front-end is presenting the ledger but they stay in the blockchain, which makes the legality of hosting a node interesting ... Not really how Steem handles this either ... but they would be a precedent...

  Is the image data itself on the chain, or just a url?

    It's a URL.

      Then, if I may ask, what's the point? That's a very expensive way of getting immutability just to not actually be immutable and depend on legacy HTTP hosts anyway.

        IPFS URLs?

        Well, he coded a conversation threading storage system on ethereum, that's still pretty cool.

Good point not only in regards to CP, but about one being able to pull bad things out in general.

author here, I posted about publishing the smart contract[1] which might be interesting to some people as I had no idea how much it would cost prior to doing this. The source code is on etherscan.io[2] so you can check it for yourself, there are no functions that allow me to remove a post by someone. Whatever ends up there will stay there. Images and videos are not hosted on the blockchain though (thank humanity it's already large enough), so there are always ways to get rid of CP. Right now most of the images there are from imgur.

  Oh, cool. Thanks! That looks like some interesting reading.

    Then the FBI gets involved, if anyone is willing to host it.
