RE: Steemit Censorship Is Hitting A Sore Spot. Any thoughts On Latest Controversy?

in #steemit6 years ago

They are not banned from the Steem platform. The article gets this right. It's possible they broken some part of the terms of service. Steemit have to cover themselves as they are operating a site in the US and could get raided or taken down. It's interesting that only six accounts are banned and you can check them on the other sites. The platform itself is resistant to censorship.

Sort:  

That is a great point. Someone just pointed this out on Twitter too. The information is still available depending on what app you use, just not on Steemit currently.

You can always access it with a local app. This just limits how many people can see their posts without them looking at alternatives to Steemit

Maybe someone should develop and host a front end for the steem blockchain thats like the dark side of steem. Dark web steemit.

I'm sure someone will do this. Need to host it somewhere where it can't be taken down. Could do it on the dark web

there could be a silver lining in this, that it makes people more aware that steemit and steem are separate and bring more traffic to the alternative dapps.

Devs really have a small list I actually went through all six wasn't that controversial
The Dark Overlord may be the only one that would be newsworthy.
1 Was opt out first one
Other 4 had a few posts not much
Then TDO lol

That is until the other condensers ban them. Unless the other condensers are setup anonymously or allowed to host "illegal content", I am sure their respective governments will try to shut them down to at some point.
