I agree with some of your points. I do not believe ANY bots should be able to run rampant here, but the fact of the matter is that they currently can. And it being possible to build a censorship tool, is in itself an issue.
Personally, I hope that once the owners of steemit understand the implications of both "good" and "bad" bots, they will be more incentivized to figure out how to prevent or hinder them.

I agree.
I wrote up an alternative proposition that allows curation and individual users to take responsibility for fixing the problem.
Take a look and share it if you think it's better than building censorship bots.
