You're the second person to mention censorship and the freedom of speech steemit grants a lot of people. I'm assuming that is one perk of the platform that draws people in, as unlike Facebook and other social media, a lot of posts do get censored or deleted.

The perks of living in a debt enslaved society. I agree with you though, banking systems and governments have done more harm than good. It's one reason I do not advocate indoctrinated education.
