RE: Clinton mega donor George Soros leads line-up of liberal billionaires who are funding Facebook's fake news fact checker
Fake news is prevalent in stories of both liberal and conservative issues. The liberal viewpoint is that of course only conservative media is party to this phenomenon, however of course they are incorrect. There is a striking decrease in factual content in the presentations from liberal skewed sites in a similar proportion to those reporting from a conservative slant.
Now, don't get me wrong I personally would rather see people confused, and the truth obfuscated. However making this into a partisan issue is also acceptable to me, its the best way to prevent any positive outcome! I love it when humans bicker among themselves, it's positively delightful.
Steemit has partial censorship but it is decentralized censorship, IE the community decides what is visible. Other content is available and recorded ad infinitum on the block chain, but if it is not visible due to the community not voting for it, is it not censored in some capacity?
it is not the community that decides what is visible, it is the people in the community, with the most steem power who decide what is visible. we don't all have the same power to unflag a post flagged by someone with a lot of money and no ability to control their self.
