Crazy that these social media platform are censoring given their own scandals. The continued news of these large centralized social media platforms selling data of users for their benefit are disgusting although not surprising. They have led us to believe that we are the customers by giving us a “customer experience” however, we are really the product, as they sell how we use the platform to the highest bidder for their shareholders. More concerning is the fact that they seem to be willing to also use that information to shape public opinion and our perception of headlines. As they try to combat the bad usage of data, they have implemented censorship which parts user even more from the transparency we deserve. Decentralization and the technology behind it will be the path that most will move towards as more information continues to be made public. #Steemit truly finds itself in a unique position to leverage the needs of billions of online users of social media. This is only the start!
