Since the NFT craze started in 2021, more and more traditional artists have begun to publicly oppose users' embezzlement of their works, casting their works as NFTs and selling them on OpenSea.

According to some, there is a possible solution that forces users to think in the Web2 and Web3 debate.

Twitter user Batsy [@batband] shared methods for trying to get stolen artwork taken down by filing a complaint through Google's content report form. Afterwards, Google removed images of their stolen work, even though the OpenSea page can still be opened.

The scheme quickly spread widely, and other artists who saw their work stolen on OpenSea said they would try the same.

While OpenSea has its own complaints process for reporting fraudulent work, users have expressed frustration with the tool, which requires a lot of personal information.

OpenSea's NFT transaction volume exceeded $15 billion this year. also,According to ConsenSys' Web3 report, the NFT market accounted for 97% of the market in the past quarter。

However, the Twitter post raises another meaningful and worrisome question. Can Google Really 'Destroy' a Decentralized Crypto Asset?

As more and more crypto watchers and analysts join the Web2 vs Web3 debate, these kinds of cases demand attention.

Crypto developers and builders also need to ask themselves whether blockchain-based projects can successfully grow in a Web2 environment regulated by international laws and search engines.

Payments giant Visa has publicly expressed its interest in the crypto space and its intention to get involved.

In an interview, Cuy Sheffield, head of Vise's Crypto division, said "NFT has the potential to be a powerful accelerator for the creator economy, lowering the barriers for individuals to make a living through the digital industry。”
