Actually, though, this brings up an interesting point.  Obviously, if someone uses steemit.com, their IP address is visible (and most likely recorded as part of regular logs)
Is the same true with using the steem blockchain?  Like, if i use the CLI to post, read or vote, does the protocol record the originating IP like, say, bitcoin does?

Nope. And beginning early next year we will be anonymizing IPs in our web logs, including retroactively. We don't want to store that kind of detailed user information. 

It's possible AWS will still keep some internally (we will be hosted there soon), but I doubt they'll be mapped to usernames.

thats actually really awesome.

that said, typically the way it works (at least to my non-technical understanding) is that the hosting provider has to store all the raw data coming in and going out as a matter of law.  So the question isn't "is  the ip info mapped to usernames", its "is the ip info _mappable_ to usernames"

The answer is probably yes, but there's no reasonable way i can think of to stop that from being the case.

Not in the United States, but my guess would be there are some back-room deals (or just government assets inside Amazon's organization) that make sure they get a realtime feed of all that data anyway.
