Do you honestly believe that you can blame the witnesses for the flagging of one account on the basis that they are responsible for providing only fair use of flagging when in the WHITE PAPER its clearly stated that the point of Steem is NOT to prevent abuse. You idiot. Keep blabbering on explaining to me how this place functions as I have been debating those functions with the people that use it and code it for a year and some months now.

You were the one who brought the witnesses into this. I wasn't even thinking about them, why on earth would someone want to sue the witnesses?....it's the owners that would get sued. I don't know what country you come from but here in the US people get protected from abuse, and your blockchain can abuse all they want but you know what?...those who develop and allow the abuse can be sued for loses of those abuses if regulatory value is instilled. Once again, Steemit is a privately held company, as a privately held company the owners can be held liable for abuse.
STEEM is not decentralized. From the beginning it was and still remains highly centralized. The launch of the STEEM network was heavily rigged to ensure that the developer and his ‘friends’ had control over majority of supply. Furthermore, this has major implications for the Steemit platform.
The top 247 accounts on Steemit (most of which are probably owned by the developer and his ‘friends’ through duplicate accounts) own ~87.50% of total stake, without including the main steemit account which is also controlled by the dev. Although any user can vote for content, the influence of your vote corresponds to the amount of STEEM you convert on your account. This means the typical user’s vote is almost meaningless unless they manage to acquire a high stake in total supply.
