RE: A CENSORSHIP THREAT TO STEEMIT

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

People have high hopes of Steemit being a free speech platform but it sounds like we may just be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

When it comes to comments, I like the idea of just having a very simple regulation that people who post videos are entitled to curate their comment section however they please. Extreme threatening and abusive comments can be reported to the site by the commenters whom they target and this would be the only exception where the site can remove comments with an authority above the person whose video post it is.

This is as it was originally on YouTube before it went totally Orwellian and I recall it working just fine.

I don't see a need to censor any videos beyond the most extreme threatening abuses. People can view what they please or not, as they please. If you don't like someone's content, stop watching it. I don't want another person making that decision for me.
