39Clients MAY choose to fully hide any events that are referenced by valid retraction 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 retracted events' own content, although a user interface should clearly indicate that this is a retraction reason, not the original content. 39Clients MAY choose to fully hide any events that are referenced by valid deletion request events.
