RE: Announcing the Launch of Hive Blockchain
I agree, but you've made a number of powerful mistakes. You have shown that censorship of Steem is possible and depends on the humor of a few people. So now what?
I'll say yes. Good luck. Hopefully Hive will succeed, or you will destroy two networks.
But is it censorship or perhaps it is something else, right?
Of course, punishing people for their views is not a sign of censorship.
Private Property:
One of the problems could be anything relating to the theft, damage, etc, of private property. And on top of that, it can also be an issue of how a democracy works which could sometimes violate some ownership rights and some of that might be what we may call censorship.
Censorship
But that comes down to how you might define censorship. Ultimately, instead of talking about something like censorship which may be a type of symptom in some cases, it is better to look at the root, the core, which can be things relating to private property rights.
Democracy vs Republic
But we are also dealing with a democracy type system that can in fact violate private property to censor. That is why America was founded to be a republic and NOT a democracy. So, @Fervi, I say unto you that these things are kind of complex.
