I was thinking that one of the characteristics of blockchain is anonymity. Hope this would not be compromised in the long run?
Since, for the major part of it, government has denied us the freedom of speech, are we also going to be cautious on blockchain?
I guess freedom ain't free after all
There are some blockchains that are totally anonymous but I don't think Steemit ever was one - although you could be anonymous in the same way you can on Facebook or whatever just by changing your information - or use anonsteem. But yeah speech freedom is a tricky thing. In the west people are actively fighting against freedom of speech because it 'hurts their feelings' haha. So we'll see...
In this part of the world; the freedom could exist before the speech, but after the speech, the freedom ceases to exist. Maybe they shouldn't even call it "freedom of speech" in the first place.
