RE: Steemit will not resist censorship: it will bring super-censorship and downvote wars
maybe some form of censorship is needed? i can imagine that abusive posts can easily be downvoted, but what if there is a hate campaign against a particular minority group?
The problem with this line of reasoning imho, which does seem like common sense on the surface, is that there is no reason to believe that the censorship will be any more moral or any less hateful than the things you imagine would need censoring.
Political correctness is a kind of disease. In the words of Mark Twain: Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.
