Recently an article from Bloomberg managed to give Steemit and Dtube some well deserved free advertising. Having Peter Brzezinski as its main example for switching platforms Bloomberg put our beloved blockchain based social media platforms, Steemit and DTube, into the spot lights.
Although Peter Czerwinski has reached almost 5 million subscribers to his Youtube channel seems that censorship practiced by the highly visited website in the name of protecting its users from potentially offensive videos made him switch lanes. He switched to DTube.
The main reason for his decision presented by Bloomberg was the freedom of speech that DTube offers to its users. Besides that, the Steem blockchain based social media platform is praised for the opportunity that its users have to earn Steem coins as donations from followers. The only downside in the opinion of the article's author is that this kind of coins are a bit hard to exchange in USD.
Nothing new for us, users of Steem platform and even DTube, but good and "free" advertising for Ned Scott who stated that the platform has reached almost one million of total users and 120,000 last month. A lot less than what Facebook has in its yard, but with much more freedom of speech and transparency.
Moving our attention to Marck Zuckerberg's Facebook the situation is a bit grey. Just like his famous t shirts. After the Cambridge Analytica data breach scandal he has visited the American Congress twice for answering difficult questions as he was quoted.
Questions regarding how Facebook works, how Zuckerberg made his money and what kind of users data he sells left him with a kind of fake smile in front of tens of cameras. Although he admitted that his data was collected also and sold to Cambridge Analytica he was accused of censorship regarding youth's political opinions.
Representatives of the Congress concluded that the damages produced by him on the democracy are priceless.
