Here is a topic you likely could make for a compelling discussion.

Censorship Free Platform = PizzaGate Could Not Be Censored

The term "fake news" was almost birthed at the same time as PizzaGate to try and debunk a very real scandal. Reddit closed down the R/PizzaGate thread and removed all the research. Then the researchers had to move elsewhere and they went to VOAT, however the moderators at VOAT remove posts all the time and censor content under PizzaGate especially. So the only place that was a social media platform that did not censor PizzaGate because of the blockchain was and still is Steemit. So as we move forward in the future, and platforms like Google and Facebook are more and more censored and controlled, real factual alternate news will rely on block chain technology to ensure the information is put out on the internet and not censored. This will not only ensure our information is not censored as alternative news journalists, but also whistle blowers will be able to directly release their information and ensure it is not censored by posting it on the block chain, it will make "leaking sites" irrelevant. In the future declaring something Fake News and forcing Facebook and Google to censor the content will no longer work for the powers that should not be, the information will be on the block chain and uncensorable.
