Also I don't think it's as bad as the way censorship happens on Steem - I end up self-censoring - for example I can't make negative comments about certain anonymous Whales on Steem for fear of being flagged to oblivion.
More like intimidation than censorship. But that's kinda how everyone is taught to follow laws, fear. Steem is messed up though. Because the whales abuse their stake to flag people that piss them off, no one speaks out against them, except those that aren't afraid...yet.
When I'm working on a site, long before it's ready to launch, I work on the rules, the TOS, the privacy policy, etc. Those are integral to a site. It worries me that they didn't do that. But...tbh the site looks kinda half done. It's a quick rebrand of Steemit's Condenser.
But, after their second post, I'm a little less worried about PAL. Though I'm sure their rules will evolve over time. Tomorrow's extreme case may be just another step.
What concerns me more now is people's reactions to my concerns. Maybe I'm just worrying over nothing. It might be years before PAL censorship gets bad, if ever. But the fact that so many were saying things like "if you don't like it, leave" worries me.
If they're saying things like that they don't understand the 'spirit of PAL' - which is more 'if you don't like it, come and discuss it and we'll explain it and find a way to adapt and move forwards together'.
