RE: Who cares about freedom of speech? SHOCKER! Censorship on Steemit!

in #steemit7 years ago

I disagree with many of the ideas and opinions expressed on Steemit but I certainly wouldn’t like to see them being flagged. As you pointed out, if we don’t defend the rights of those who express views which oppose our own, we are creating the conditions in which our own views can be restricted in the future.
Besides, a refresher course on the other side of the argument is often a good idea. I must admit that I have changed my views on quite a few issues over the years.

Hiya Deirdyweirdy :D

Exactly! People ought to be worrying about whose opinion is next for the flag treatment. Yours might not be today, but when they've obliterated the political or nutritional faction, who's next.

Beware. You could be next!

Yes, looking at the other side of the argument is the best way to test your own opinions or beliefs or affiliations. Only a fool would want to close their minds.

Thanks for your brilliant insights.
