RE: Is Steemit Really Censorship Proof?

in #steem8 years ago

So what's your point - that they do get sued, but said social networks continue working despite that, because of their huge profits? If we assume this is the case, then wouldn't Steemit be even more vulnerable to censorship from people threating to sue? In effect, Steemit will be prone to more censorship than Facebook or Twitter, because it doesn't have a department of lawyers, as there aren't enough funds to pay for their services?

Sort:  

My point is if someone does want to go after Steemit, they will either go through the courts and wreck the creators financially or go straight for the creators and treat it like a criminal enterprise. They can label it like another Wikileaks except with cryptocurrency, which they don't understand and think only criminals partake in. Its naive to think it would end well. All I'm saying is one person using Steemit as an exclusive platform for 'leaked' information that major powers want down isn't worth it.
