Upvoted and like your video. One thing though internally is a little debate over NSFW tagged items being made invisible when it is the leading tag. So completely uncensored... maybe not. A great platform though.

You are correct. Yet there is also the case where people should be able to opt into seeing that. I've been here about 4 weeks. The first week someone posted their first image as a very close up and graphic blow job. So as you are cruising through the links there is a blow job going on in the list without you ever opting into seeing it.
Was it censored? No it can't be.
Even if they make that NSFW invisible it is still not censored. It may be censored here on steemit.com which is simply ONE window into the blockchain, and the source code is open source. So if someone wanted to make another website viewing the blockchain they could optionally make all of that stuff visible.
I will not be surprised to see people add serialized data into posts at some point and certain websites know how to interpret that as well. That's make it highly extensible. There may already be a mechanism to do that. Essentially using non-visible meta data to extend the functionality.
The key about the can't censor is that the information cannot be deleted from the blockchain. People could build a website that censors a lot of what is in the blockchain, yet it is still there and all you have to do is use a website that doesn't censor to see it.
We can't force our view upon everyone. Yet it seems we don't have to.
I completely agree with the reasons for it not being made visible. I agree also very much with making some content tags require opting in to be able to see. I just didn't care to see that it was completely removed from visibility without any related information as to why. It really becomes then more a case of "we are doing this for your own good" which I don't think historically has worked out well. I would like to have seen it handles a different way is all. I had not considered however, and thank you for addressing, the fact that it was removed from steemit.com and not the blockchain.
You are correct. People can make their own sites using this technology and any content they want to share.
Yes the blockchain is where the true revolution is happening. Steemit.com is but the current most popular window for interfacing with that. :) I suspect we'll see a variety of sites interfacing the blockchain in the future. Someone could make an ArtSteem website or something that ONLY showed posts tagged art. Really, the sky is the limit.
It is a big deal.
Oh I agree. I just hadn't thought about all angles yet and I appreciate being set straight on the matter
I shall stop promoting this site to my ten year old son.
