Tommy Robinson (@tommyrobinson), best selling author and extremely popular, if controversial, political activist has officially joined Steem.
You can see the link to his Steem account on his latest Youtube video below (in the description).
Notice the over 350k subscribers to his Youtube channel!
As far as I am aware, Tommy is the biggest celebrity EVER to join Steem and actively post.
He has millions of followers in the UK and around the world.
He hand delivered over 250,000 signatures to 10 Downing Street in the Soldier X campaign (to stop the persecution of British soldiers that took selfies with him).
Before his Facebook page was banned, it had more followers than the UK Labour party!
Tommy has been censored by the mainstream media and tech giants and persecuted by the UK establishment for trying to have an open discussion about the role and influence of Islam in western societies.
You may not agree with his views, but freedom and democracy require open exchange of political viewpoints.
The mass censorship of alternate voices on the right, and also the left, is anathema to a healthy society.
Steem welcomes Tommy and all the other refugees from the conformist censorship of the big tech companies and mainstream media.
He will bring great value to the platform and hopefully cause other popular figures who have been censored to also join Steem.I want to thank my friend @brianoflondon for bringing @tommyrobinson to Steem.
Steem, as a censorship resistant and self regulating platform, is not a free for all for hate speech. That is important to me as a Jew.
It is a place where alternative viewpoints can be exchanged and debated with the respect that arises from the knowledge that there is real money involved and bad behaviour which damages the platform will be punished financially and attentionally by collective action.
But where there is no outright censorship - content is always available for direct viewing on the blockchain and there are a large number of front ends to view content, with different policies.

Now we use it.
Anyone working on Jordan Peterson?
That would be fantastic to get Milo Y! Love his work.

Milo Yiannopoulos is a troll. He'll fit right in

That clown makes me cringe. But he would get Steem a lot of exposure.

He has his role to play. Perhaps when we reclaim the internet, the free speech champions will lose their raison d'etre and fade away.
Yes, when stating things that were common sense in previous generations becomes outrageous to the powers that be, one has to be outrageous just to speak common sense.

Who would have guessed it..... @mattclarke, the steemit pimp. You sell that decentralised platform girlfriend!
Well said and it needs saying. Viewpoints are never going completely match, but we need to be open to discussion.

In case any of you missed it here is Tommy's video directly announcing his presence on Steem. https://steempeak.com/dtube/@tommyrobinson/k2cskx26
I'm against most of what he stands for, but Steem is about freedom. It will be interesting to see who else joins up. I had been expecting to see people like this on Steem at some point.

great news!
I think someone is mirroring. Lets see when he is interacting. But good news anyway.

It’s Tommy’s official Steem page, managed by the same people who run all his media. At the moment it’s mirroring content. But if Steem proves a good platform for him it will start to get primary content.

Yeah - but we have to improve livestreaming and dtube then. Lets see if msm talks about steem. #traffic #attention

I hope it doesn't turn into a 'kokesh styleee', thing...
No one scams to Kokesh levels. He couldn't reach that level of slime if he tried.
Great to hear! :)

Well he hasn’t powered up his account yet. I’ll take his arrival on Steemit seriously when I see him put some money into Steem.

That's awesome!
I hope he'll last more than @tjkirk (aka The Amazing Atheist) 😥
