RE: Some recent footage from Hong Kong
To answer your question @yahiababidi, Steemit is decentralised so anyone can get an account, no one is responsible for background as you can opt to be anonymous on the blockchain. If authors produce content that goes against community guidelines, the community can downvote it so it does not become visible on the chain.
But yes, I know what you mean about Tommy Robinson , he is infamous in UK
Thank you, @livinguktaiwan, for taking the time and the care to answer my question.
I understand that Steemit is decentralized and, as a writer and thinker, fight against censorship. But, I also recognize that the right to free speech ends where hate speech begins and know all too well that words are also actions, and can illicit violence...
It's one thing to be anonymous on the blockchain and another, as you agree with my characterization of Robinson, to post as an infamous personality. Our members, on Steemit, reflect on who we are and our shared values. Thanks, for hearing me out
