RE: Censoring Steem Sites - Does It 'Protect' Victims, Enable Abusers, Both or Neither? We Need To Be Clear on This For Steem's Sake.
I never read/saw anything of @thedarkoverlord and I wonder who is donin/did the censorship in this case.
Is it the same as at Facebook? A video of a group rape by Muslims can be showed but the victim is banned?
I doubt if censorship is only for controversial topics, it depends on (the mood or fear) of the person that checks it out.
I agree Steem should not be advertised as uncensored and a free network if that is not the case, but we all know if it comes to that it is just advertising, a way to sell.

The censorship was done by Steemit inc. - although they have not stated whether it was motivated by a legal request or not.
In this case, since the information was hacked - it apparently triggers legal issues - though I am not an expert on the subject.
Steem itself is uncensored - steem is the blockchain. Steemit is one of the websites that runs on Steem and it was only Steemit (and Steempeak) that censored this content. The content is still available on Steem.
So in the end nothing has changed since it is still there and there are other ways to post censored content. Thanks for your answer

There are other ways to view the content that is censored on steemit.com, yes. No problem! :)
