RE: Will Europe's new laws ban Steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago

Very scary what is going on. So who exactly is the one who is going to decide what is legal and what is not? and by what standards? In case of the dutch politician Geert Wilders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Geert_Wilders) it took several judges and years of trial to come to a conclusion. In the future a random employee of a company can shut down someone else his message by simply pushing a button?
To my opinion is the very idea to make the owner of an open media platform in some way responsible for its content potentialy inciting discrimination. Civilians will be judging other civilians, some civilians will get the power to rule over others on subjects which maybe deserve a fair trial. All because some people fear to loose control ....
