I would not flag for reasons of any differences in views or cencorship. i do however believe in flagging when people are posting total plagerized content and also commenting total lies, abuse and threats ALL over your posts and spam flagging 100s of your posts for no good reason.

Remeber, people who post dozens of plagiarised posts are taking from the rewards pool without adding any real value. They are like parasites who litter comments with either abuse or junk. We do need to protect steemit from becoming a circus of kids who do nothing but disrupt.

The mute button does nothing to stop others seeing 100s of spammy comments or abusive comments and total lies ... so sometimes we have to flag so that he comments or really bad trolls are simply hidden.

Id say we need a block button! We should have the right to stop certain people commenting on our posts at all if we like.. then no need to flag in certain cases.

Im 100% for freedom of expression just to be clear..
