I have an idea for an app. It’s for ladies only. It makes your phone vibrate while you watch porn.

Sort:  

Steem doesn't eliminate censorship, it gives you the tools to work around attempts to censor.

By analogy, imagine Steem and Facebook are high street stores and you're on the street outside. Facebook is a store with one window. Facebook control everything inside the store, and they control the window you can look in from. They can tint it red, they can block parts off that are invisible, and they can move things around inside so that they are different from what they were before.

In the Steem storefront, anyone can make a window, including you yourself. SteemIt.com is just one window, the main one which people use now, but steemd.com is also a window, steemdb.com is another window, eSteem is a window, Busy.org is a window. Any of them can influence what you see inside, should you choose to use them, but you always have the choice to use another window including your own. And unlike Facebook, none of them can change what is inside the store, all they can do is provide a perspective into it.

Incidentally, here is your post seen with another website, one which is not controlled by the owners of SteemIt.com:
