We Need To Protect STEEM
Steem is wonderful, it gives us the chance to spread information and ideas without being controlled by a bigger entity that can move around or delete information.
Unfortunately, this would mean that STEEM is a hot bed for any type of propaganda that has no way of being vetted and removed if extremely wrong.
Recent reports from the pentagon show that their was a 2000% increase in Russian bots on social media. I doubt that they haven't made their way onto STEEM.
With the amount of money and effort that has been put into getting Russia into spychological warefare. I think it is reasonable to expect ALL top 20 Witnesses to prove and verify they are individuals and that they are not some Russian Troll.

I think this is good that not in an accusational sense, but more in a way that we can get that confirmation from them and affirm the trust bond. This is a reasonable request in the realm of Steem which is about transparency :) I will add this to an upcoming witness post
I have seen Jerry Banfield on YouTube, he did not look like a bot
I'm running for witness now, and one of my projects will be witness verification
