RE: Had another post censored on Facebook and it more and more makes me wanna use steemit more.

Nope.. You seem to have a very confused view of the implication and meaning of your own words.. Implying that sharing knowledge with adults is akin to sharing information with children who can't even really comprehend such and who aren't really in a position to do anything about it.

Saying STDS and animal abuse happen is no reason to stop bringing awareness to the subjects.
That's really bad logic.. It's like saying hey.. Wars happen and greed happens and corruption happens, so don't show people the reality of it! Lol..
Really? Are you seriously implying that?

Once again. In regards to children on Facebook you could use the same argument on steemit. I've seen young children on here as well. It's a rather irrelevant point.

And no.. You are 100% wrong with your assertion that it's for shock value, I have zero interest in shocking people just to shock people.. I have better things to do with my time and my life. I personally posted it for educational purposes and many other people do too. That is an incredibly narrow biased perspective of yours to imply that. It's actually hard for me to believe you even said that.

Explaining things to people is good and important and you can do both it's not an either or situation, but oftentimes words will never ever have even close to the same effect of seeing the reality of it for yourself.

The video I shared that was censored actually made significant change in the market, and led to boycotts and the companies involved changing their policies.. but, hey.. Don't let that change your already made up mind!

Sort:  

PS I really hate it when people try to censor injustice. Please stop belittling and discouraging the efforts of people who are trying to raise awareness in the world against injustice. It's really disturbing.

I hope you wouldn't mind if I share videos of ISIS beheadings and executions and show your children then

Because hey, it's not about shock value, it's about showing people that this is reality

So.. Because children might see something on social media for adults, we should just stop showing and sharing the reality of the world? Are you serious????

How about, parents do their job and don't let their kids on social media. how about that? instead of censoring the whole fucking world.
smh

I guess we should outlaw porn too! Cause kids can go on the internet and find it! Let's ban everything!

By the way, if it means countless animals won't be tortured and have their fur ripped from their bodies while they are still alive and with no painkillers, I think it's a fair price to pay.

A child seeing what happens in the world versus.. Countless animals being tortured.. HMMMM. I wonder.
