RE: Why Steemit will be Facebook and Reddit Killer
I think the biggest problem of social media in general is censorship. I'm not even talking about illegal content, but violating the freedom of speech.

Agree 100%. I have witnessed many YT channel being suspended and not allowed to post certain videos and it infuriates me. No one should have their 1st Amendment stripped away.
Ron Paul was "economically censored" by YouTube recently. ZH had an article about it, let me find it... here.
Completely agree with you, although I would point out that the First Amendment really only applies to the government; it doesn't say others need to have expenses to fund one's speech. I think the censorship that companies are doing is awesome, because it creates demand for platforms such as this one.
Just as "discrimination" should not be illegal. If a business turns customers away, they'll seek out (or create) businesses which do not. Codifying in law that certain classes of people require preferential treatment is just a recipe for class warfare.
Anyway neat to see you over here! :)
Hahah tell Ron Paul to come over here and use DTube...haha
Yes, hopefully his team is on top of the new shiny. :)
😊👍
Good point, I agree. It is indeed a big problem.
