The media are purposefully ignoring this subject, hoping it slips under the radar.

Steemit should certainly not ignore it. Imagine your internet provider demanding that every image uploaded to Steemit passes a preliminary check first, and, if Steemit's compliance doesn't meet certain censorship standards, it would be blocked by your provider.

This is what we're facing. And this is why the media are silent about it. They want their monopoly back!
