While I agree with several of the points presented by @julianhorack, I cannot agree with his thesis that liberation is at hand.
Given the track record of previous "Freedom Bringers," we should temper our hopes a bit. Whether it was the promise of democracy, or of capitalism, or of communism, or of peace and love circa the 1960s, none of them brought us the liberation that we dreamed of.
DLT / Blockchain technology will most likely limit the control of the powers that be, and will most likely expand and increase our freedom, but to assume that blockchain will bring us true, undeniable, and irrevokable freedom might be a bit presumptuous.
...
As for the "uncensorable speech," that was a glorious promise only 25 years ago, when the internet became accessible to everybody. That did not last long.
On a related point, has anyone noticed that, post the recent hard fork, all our posts now retain the "EDIT" function.... presumably forever. Prior to the fork, we could edit our posts for only the one week after posting. Thereafter, the post was apparently permanently fixed in immutable form on the blockchain. But now, we can go to any of our Steemit posts that is months old, and we can edit it. So, it is immutable, and, probably, censorable.
...
Also, for the past few months, I have been unable to make any Steemit posts THROUGH CHROME. Not coincidentally, I was able to post through CHROME until I posted an article exposing some of the facts / truths about a man named Bill Browwdder (Sp?). As he and many others are involved in an extensive and long-term disinformation campaign, the powers that be prefer not to have the truth come out.
I had no idea why I could suddenly not post through Chrome, but a good friend who knows quite a bit more than I do bluntly told me that, soon after my post was online, someone flagged it, and then the evildoers at Google / Chrome decided that they did not want any more such news posted through their browser.
The very same day, my posting function through SAFARI was also blocked. Now, if I want to post anything on my Steemit blog, I can only do so through FIREFOX.
So, as Piotr said, there's still plenty of ways that they can censor us.
Regardeless ... FREEDOM!
