RE: Updated Steemit.com Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
It's a about having the liberty/freedom to freely express yourself. Just because there is a law, it doesn't mean it's there for the best interest of citizens . You are talking about abiding the law, the other users are talking about being human and having the human rights respected . You're totally missing out on the point here .
I'm repeating myself, but you do have that liberty/freedom to express yourself via the Steem blockchain - and your messages will be even eternalized forever. You're a) mixing up the concepts of Steemit.com and Steem and b) forgetting that one can create a Steem account anonymously.
Nobody forces you to give your personal data away.
By the way it was you who published his full name, age, portrait pictures and country of residence in his introduction post...:-) If you wanted to be anonymous here, why would you do that?
Now if freedom of speech means being able to promote concepts such as racism (like truthforce mentioned in his examples above), then we're not defending any human rights by asking for such freedom.
Nowadays that freedom of speech is often used to create hatred and to attack minorities. The common belief is that threatening someone on the internet is completely fine.
It's always the message that matters.
So I don't think I'm missing out any point...:-)
Again, thanks for your statement and Steem on!
