RE: r/bitcoin has gone full North Corea

I am thankful of the Steem blockchain being immutable to censorship where anyone can state their concern and voice their opinion about anything, for free.

Synchronicity. I just came from another user's post where they were questioning whether us being censorship free was a good thing because apparently an account was posting what some are calling child pornography. From what I was able to see, the girls in question could have been of legal age, they certainly were not undeveloped. It's not something I personally want to see having a daughter about that age, but in the end I have to take the stance that we are a self-policing platform and I believe it works, that if unacceptable behavior or material is posted we simply join forces and flag the individual until they have no reason to be here. But If it's a matter of someone who simply doesn't like pornography then they always have the option to ignore or even mute.
I think that creating any formal censorship will land us in the exact same position as what you have as an example in this post, and we do NOT want that here.

Wow!
A VERY powerful statement and proves you are an idealist!

Thank you :) And I'm glad you responded, reminds me to pop by 'your place' today. I"m putting together a list, trying to get some kind of organization to visiting people's blogs that I like.

Great to exchange with you as always!
Hope to see you around more often.

Yes, the introduction of any kind of censorship will lead to the emergence of a corrupt system of systematic censorship.
