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

in #steemit7 years ago

Freedom, and in this case, free speech, is sometimes going to be ugly, chaotic, and in some cases even malicious, but that is far better than the alternative. It is better to live in a world where these things exist than in one where there is censorship and regulation.

I'm constantly amazed at how, as we increase censorship, it is blatantly obvious how much darker and more hateful society is becoming; yet, instead of looking at this and correcting course, we are doubling-down on this lie and descending further into madness.

Thanks Millennialnow

I agree totally. We are all gonna see/hear things we don't like whether in here or in the real world. It's much more offensive (to me anyways) to have an outside source determine what I can look at.

Yes, it's scary to imagine where this could lead.

Thank you for your insights.
