Are you in favor of having the black market up-and-running on Steemit, @whatsup?
So, You don't think adults should be able to purchase and ingest whatever they choose?
Would you have this same mindset if people started auctioning off child-porn and human kidneys, sitting on Steemit at the number one spot on trending?
I won't answer for you, but, IMO, the line has to be drawn somewhere, or else you create the potential for some of the ugliest sides of humanity to start growing and, potentially, over-running the community.
To be clear, I think scamming people using bogus health products/ claims is near the lowest of low that a human can reach and I don't particularly like the idea of having Steemit's trending page being dominated by this trash.
For me the freedom to buy and sell is about adults.
The problem with Child Porn and Kidney's is that someone is directly injured.
I don't care if people smoke pot, do hard drugs or experiment with unproven products based on personal experience. I am for adults being adults.
I get the concern about the trending page, and I was really excited to see people use their voting power to express how they feel about this!
So, I completely approve of the flagging as well as the upvotes! That is how the site works and when people start flagging the site will function much better in my opinion. I am happy the conversation broke out.
I see. We're not in disagreement, then.
