Hello @stefan.molyneux. I've a question for you, and I'm hoping that maybe you can do a video about it especially for Steemit. There's an ongoing debate as to whether or not flagging on Steemit is tantamount to censorship, and or if it violates the NAP.
It is a complex issue because of the nature of the platform. The way the platform is setup, there is the common way of viewing things, and there is also a more technical way of looking at things.
If I do a post and it merits 20.00 in rewards from 32 different Steemit voters. Then that means if someone with enough Steem comes and flags my post because s/he doesn't like the content. That 20.00 turns into 0.00 and the post gets soft-censored or dithered out, if it is a comment, the comment will also be collapsed.
I posit, that not only does this spiritually violate the non-aggression principle, but that it is also akin to theft, and a form of soft-censorship. Yet even though it might spiritually violate the NAP, it might not technically violate it. So the big question is, what's the right way to view that type of behavior?
I don't know how familiar you are with the platform, or how long you have been posting, but I'd really like to get your opinion on the matter. I will soon be launching a campaign against Steemit soft-censorship in order to expose the issue.
Most people aren't aware of it, because most people are good-hearted enough to simply ignore posts they disagree with, as opposed to re-divert the rewards that others have levied via their upvotes.
