[FamilyProtection] Censorship: Being Prepared For The Future, For The Much That Needs To Be Accomplished

in #familyprotection7 years ago (edited)

I have been here on steemit for a while now, compared to others am pretty a newcomer, but I have experienced some of the uphills and downhills of steemit. From the then constant "Transaction broadcast error message" when making a post, to the "try by luck" scenario when trying to upvote a post or submit a comment. Those were really frustrating times and then it got to the era when steem dollar leaped from 0.9C to a whooping 10$, that was a good time for everyone, but one that caught my attention the most  in the ethics department was/is the Flag War Era.

In some of the cases, flagging of contents becomes the only "ideal thing to do" but others, you can graph out some trend in the flagging of content. I am not talking about the flagging of contents that "deserve" flagging, but the flagging of very good well intended contents by some censoring few!. You see some good great, un-plagiarized content flagged to minus zero in an attempt to "censor". This becomes the real problem, and that will defeat the idea of the un-censorship perk of the steem block-chain. There are some very great posts on "vaccination" and "pedophiles" been blown to zero, and so doing become "censored" by a select few here on steemit. 

With that in mind, just for a moment, imagine a "pro CPS" account was to pop up in the steem block-chain, believe it or not, when the @familyprotection becomes very loud and the public begins to see the real corruption by the CPS via our stories and truths here on the steem platform and beyond, this Pro-CPS group that might arise will pose a threat of censorship!. For a moment, imagine the genuine posts under the #familyprotection tag begins to get flagged by a "government-backed pro-cps" account, flushing out our visibility, that is "censorship"!. The steem blockchain is a free-market and everyone is algorithmicaly allowed to do whatever they wish with their steem power.

We need to think beyond the present tides if we as a community are to thrive and the goals we have set out to accomplish see true fruition. This should drive our need to not only support the cause by creating a circle of awareness with our posts only, but by creating a circle of voluntary donations as well. Below is a screenshot of @ironshield's comment on one of the progress report about 23 days ago that portrays what I am driving at(used with his permission). Thank you so much @ironshield, you are indeed wise and future sighted, I hope others see deeply into the picture you've painted here!!

For the walls we are building to stay firm and wage every waves that might befall in the future, we all need to act selflessly to cement the walls. Guess what, for a group posing an "healthy" threat against these legal universal kidnappers, the @familyprotection account will be targeted and they would come along with the supposed "censorship" they have accomplished in the mainstream media here on steemit!. It is very very easy for a cooperate government funded organisation like CPS to pump in 1, 2, 5 or many more million dollars into a steem account to attempt to censor!.

You see?, we need to be prepared for the future, the FamilyProtection community has a lot to accomplish, the bars are so high and our voices needs to become as loud as possible, we have to get to the stage we can confidently help those oppressed and victimized by CPS, the @familyprotection initiative must soar like a confident Eagle, but SHE needs you to soar beyond limits!!.

Let's Care, Because We Actually CARE!!

Peace to you all,

Governments around the world,
are using "Child Protection Agencies"
to take children away from loving families
and place them in foster care or group homes
or put up for adoption.
THESE FAMILIES NEED PROTECTING.

censorship is possible and pro CPS mirrored group on Steemit is possible. However they probably would attack in less likely ways than that. I think of freezing or erasing bank accounts as was the case with Joel Gilbert (Anit Obaman film writer) also think of Dinesh D'Souza and what they put him through. As long as you have major impact but fly below the radar you will get by. Otherwise they do not mess with small fish.

Yeah you are correct, they do not mess with small fish, but I am hoping this community grows into a whaley-elephant. The goal is for us to one day be a force to recon with. That said, the steem block chain is a sort of an anonymous system when you want to be truly anonymous, the group might not be tagged "pro-cps" nor remotely related to it either, but posts will feel the censorship effect nonetheless. A group of accounts acting in one piece to stress good people like Us. Thank you Troy

It's not censorship, first because there's no way to alter the blockchain outside 2/3 witness consensus and second because Steem was created and continues today as a Censorship Free zone by principle of the blockchain transparency.

There's an intrinsic difference between rating or curating content and altering it removing it.

Ultimately it's not censorship the moment it gets published to the blockchain.

From that perspective, you are 100% correct @baah. The blockchain is ultimately transparent, the frontend interaction phase becomes the medium for viewing the blockchain nonetheless, and "suppression" of contents becomes "censorship" from that perspective.

Unlike steemit though, where contents becomes hidden when flagged to Minimum, Busy.org still displays them without extra clicks. Thank you so much for your great comment, I see through your eyes Dear Baah, and I stand to be corrected further.

It's still really very easy to click the alluring Reveal button, making suppression nothing more than mystified intrigue, from that perspective.

Nice post.I respect you very much because you contribute to steemit.I will do activities like you.I would like to extend the steemit

Don't worry. We have too much of a good community and your accounts are growing each passing day. SP rules steemit. We have more good people to fight the good fight. There is only so much government agencies can do.
