Hi everyone, this is a public commentary/addendum on this video (which was posted by https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7TvL4GlQyMBLlUsTrN_C4Q ), on how Steemit is becoming the latest and greatest hub of scoial media networking on the internet, and due in part because of traditional media platforms stride toward orwellian thought control via censorship:
I wanted to add this report to the mix of news & updates on Facebook & Twitter's censorship direction, with this article about the German government fining people who don't remove what it considers "fake news" from the web within 24 hrs. This forced Facebook to create even more censorship filters that are being discussed in this article here:

The article reports that "The world’s largest social network is bringing its test of fake news filtering tools to Germany in the coming weeks after the spread of false stories."
