Good questions. I know for me all I can see as a way out of this mess is to have a more fully informed public. And if we continue to run up against censorship it is just a matter of turning up the steam (steem) no pun intended. At least if we have a more informed public we have a chance people will begin making more logical decisions. Too many times those making decisions for everyone are NOT looking out for the good of all. I have come to realize that it is safer to have a totally "uninformed" public than it is to have a public that has been mis and dis-informed. Need some balance and we have a long way to go. I hear talk of "communities" coming soon to the Steemit platform, that may be a BIG help in keeping the truth moving and side-stepping these censor happy folks at bay.
