RE: Why Social App Developers Should Avoid Protocol Development, and Vice Versa

in #steemit5 years ago

It might be worth wading into the waters of the culture war being that controversy generates views. There's this huge debate happening between established Social Media giants and Gab. Irrespective of what anyone here thinks of that platform - I happen to think it's decent - Gab's controversy is generating MASSIVE amounts of publicity and contributes to it's skyrocketing membership. Day after day, Steem stays away from defending the freedom to speak and the freedom to hear controversial content. I think this is a spectacular, missed opportunity. I for one think that Steem and blockchain social media sites have the power to render censorship ineffectual and this should be central to Steem's mission and public face.
