I just wrote a blog about "freedom" and I'm happy I got it out. In my religious tradition we have a saying:
"The CURE is created before the Malady"
Censorship is getting out of hand. I don't agree with the conspiracy theorists, the hate mongers, and the dissemination of false facts. However, the above article written is showing a growing trend of silencing voices. The bad actors are now conveniently being bundled with reasonable opposition. Youtube and Facebook have decided what is appropriate and what is not. That's not democracy, that is tyranny.
Whole channels are being wiped out; and that spells disaster. Or does it?
So what's the cure? Well the concept of blockchain of course. I am now fully understanding the "worth" of this technology. The concept that your voice cannot be deleted no matter what anyone does is a powerful cure to this modern day malady. In fact this should be very bullish for STEEM as a currency. STEEM is a currency for freedom of speech. Let's forget the reward r@pe and the greedy whales for a moment.
Imagine the exodus of youtube authors and their followers coming here in order to continue their voice. Now we have to understand that not everyone on youtube is "good". Their voices can be detrimental to freedom as well. I expect that kind of trash to also migrate. Life is grey and we must understand that not everything that is being censored is "good". However with that being said, I look forward to the torrent of bad and good voices coming to this platform.
Even a downvote is not a voice silenced!
I agree, even a downvote is better than to be censured, shadow banning or expel from social media. Steemit is here for those who would like to use it, even if they love to bask in conspiracy theories we have the choice no to read or listen to it. Thank you, for sharing.
