+Relays SHOULD delete or stop publishing any referenced events that have an identical `pubkey` as the deletion request.  Clients SHOULD hide or otherwise indicate a deletion status for referenced events.
 
 Relays SHOULD continue to publish/share the deletion events indefinitely, as clients may already have the event that's intended to be deleted. Additionally, clients SHOULD broadcast deletion events to other relays which don't have it.
 
 ## Client Usage
 
-Clients MAY choose to fully hide any events that are referenced by valid deletion events.  This includes text notes, direct messages, or other yet-to-be defined event kinds.  Alternatively, they MAY show the event along with an icon or other indication that the author has "disowned" the event.  The `content` field MAY also be used to replace the deleted event's own content, although a user interface should clearly indicate that this is a deletion reason, not the original content.

The `content` field MAY also be used to replace the deleted events' own content, although a user interface should clearly indicate that this is a deletion reason, not the original content.
 
 A client MUST validate that each event `pubkey` referenced in the `e` tag of the deletion request is identical to the deletion request `pubkey`, before hiding or deleting any event.  Relays can not, in general, perform this validation and should not be treated as authoritative.
