RE: Who cares about freedom of speech? SHOCKER! Censorship on Steemit!

Hiya @preparedwombat

I've seen some agree to their flag. They're usually new and hadn't realised they were making a mistake. Certainly there's an element of subjectivity. What one considers hate speech, another considers truth.

We are in danger of creating a muffled, muted society, squirming in a safe space.

I think we should remove flags. If people don't like the content provided by someone they think is hateful or a spammer or whatever, they should just use the MUTE button. They can then create their own personal safe spaces and skip around, wearing earmuffs and blinkers, in their happy fluffy alternative reality where nobody ever says anything they disagree with.

Thanks for your insights
