《Steem 白皮书》摘抄：
"关于内容审查
Steem 是一个去中心化的网络，网络由世界各地不同司法辖区的见证人运营。所有用户的操作都公开记录在区块链中，并且可以公开验证。这意味着没有任何一个实体可以审查由 STEEM 持有者评估的内容。
诸如 steemit.com 之类的私人机构网站可能会检查其特定网站上的内容，但发布在其网站上的所有内容一经发布在区块链上，就必然被广播出去，而全球各地的镜像内容将永远存在。
言论自由是所有其他自由权利的基础，任何侵犯言论自由的行为都破坏了达成共识的唯一和平手段：讨论。没有自由讨论，选民就无法充分了解情况，不知情的选民对社会的威胁甚至比没有投票权更可怕。审查制度是通过限制公共话语权来剥夺人民选票的一种手段。Steem 致力于实现言论自由和建立自由社会。"
Censorship
Steem is a decentralized network that is operated by witnesses in jurisdictions around the world. All user actions are publicly recorded on the blockchain, and can be publicly verified.This means that there is no single entity that can censor content that is valued by STEEM holders.
Individual websites such as steemit.com may censor content on their particular site, but content published on the is inherently broadcast traffic and mirrors all around the world may continue to make it available.
Freedom of speech is the foundation of all other liberties and any infringement upon freedom of speech undermines the only peaceful means of reaching consensus: discussion.Without free discussion voters cannot be fully informed, and uninformed voters are a greater threat to society than losing the right to vote.Censorship is a means of stealing votes through limiting public discourse Steem is committed to enabling free speech and building a free society.
