Hello dear friend @valued-customer.
To what extent should freedom of expression be allowed? Does it really exist?
Social platforms such as FB, Twitter and YouTube apply censorship to the publications of their users. In fact, there are legal precedents where a tweet can be taken as evidence in a trial.
We cannot ignore that in China there is a great restriction of freedoms, especially that of expression. Perhaps if this acquisition was completed, we could have censorship levels never seen before on steem. I hope all these are just rumors.
It is perhaps informative to consider that I have been criminally and physically attacked by covert LEA associates, and strongly negatively impacted by institutions, via cryptic means and overt as well, for decades.
Sorry to know this.
All best, Piotr.
Freedom of expression is actually absolute, and the baseline reality humanity has evolved within. This is shown by the fact that you alone will words out of your mouth, and no threat or subsequent repression is competent to prevent that.
I, perhaps vainly, believe that decentralization will effect the elimination of institutional power in the fullness of time, and that censorship and repression will be obsolete then. Today I believe I live under threat of death for speaking freely, and fully expect that threat to eventuate in time. I speak freely anyway.
Thanks!
Big thx for your comment @valued-customer and sorry for such a late reply.
Personally I wish to believe in that as well. But technology is going to serve people, and usually it does serve those who have money and power.
ps.
May I ask you for little favour? I'm not sure if I did ask you about it already or not (hope I'm not repeating myself).
Could you please check out also my recent post if you have few min and share your thoughts on questions related to concept of "introducing steem blockchain to businesses":
