RE: Rather unfortunate for the future growth of STEEM that steemit inc. is unable/unwilling to promote @thedarkoverlord using the censorship resistance of platform to bypass the Silicon Valley Gatekeepers.

in #busy6 years ago

Censorship resistance can be nice in some situations but in this situation all it does is generate bad PR for the Steem platform in my opinion. It's not going to bring Steem to mass adoption, or help the Steem price, and yes the blockchain itself is censorship resistant for those with the technical skills to make use of it. The interface (Steemit) has to be concerned about UX, about PR, about how it can impact the Steem brand, while the witnesses get to determine whether or not content should be filtered.

I think the current situation is that if content makes treats or violates the morality of the community then it gets flagged. Censorship resistance from what I can see is not a feature to advertise unless you find from the data that billions of people would value that feature and even if you did find this sentiment I don't think the unfortunate example would be the sort of content we see from @thedarkoverlord. Better to highlight actual heroes who save lives than groups that seem to be focused on destroying lives.
