Interesting thought experiment. I'm all for users having the right to use flagging to censor content they simply disagree with, though I don't think I'd do it myself. However, I wonder how long I could sit on the sidelines if Steemit became a place of censorship and flagging based on political ideologies, etc. I mean, let's be honest, a group of "alt-right" (I still am not a fan of that term, but perhaps you know the type), would be as willing to mass censor Steemit as a contingent of Maddow fans would be.
