That was great! I really liked at 10 minutes before the end, they were talking about censorship. I've recently been accused of "censoring" and "shutting down the blog" of @investingtips who was spamming his advertising on @haejin's blogs. @officialfuzzy's interview said exactly what I'm thinking!
Corporations can censor. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc can delete content.
What I did? I just downvoted it. The content is still there, and always will be, in the Steemit blockchain.
I "grew up" on the Internet in Slashdot (which is no longer what it was). There, comments could be upvoted to 5, or downvoted to -1. Each user could determine the "threshold" at which they read comments; for instance, I could say "don't show me comments under 2," and I'd only see comments that were actually voted on (because a comment could get a +1 for being made by an account which had previously received lots of upvotes -- somewhat similar to the reputation/SP strategy that we see here).
Anyway -- this so aligned with my past and what I want to see in the future! I think that's really neat. Steemit hasn't yet deleted a post.
Slashdot was forced to, when someone posted a Scientology publication, and the Scientologists used copyright law to force Slashdot to delete it.
I'm somewhat of the mind to join Scientology and get one of their manuals, and then post it into the blockchain, because -- what to do then?
Understand, my thought isn't to destroy Steemit -- it's to challenge it. At that point, would Steemit be forced to fork itself due to government action?
ETH has forked due to DAO action, and I don't think that was really the right decision. Sure, it saved some people some money they had lost through "bad coding" -- but, is it my responsibility to modify the stuff I have because someone else wrote bad code for their stuff?
Reminds me of the old quote, "Failure to plan on your part, doesn't constitute an emergency on my part." Which is, constantly, shown to be false based on corporate (executive?) behavior.
Blockchain should be better than corporate behavior.
Nice, will listen! I'm subscribed to the SGTReport channel on YouTube -- but more recently, so cool to see an older show recommended by someone! :)
