I am coming across more and more people who are being 'blacklisted' by spaminator.
I write for alt-media due to the censorship and fake news that prevails in the MSM.
I recently came onto steemit in the hope of meeting like minded people.
I am mortified to find out that there groups (un-elected I presume?) who can blacken people's name by blacklisting them.
Who appointed you as the censorship police of steemit?
Were you democratically elected by the users of steemit?
I have seen that people have to apologize for their so called crimes.
This is appalling. It reminds me of Stalinist Russia where people had to make confessions to avoid imprisonment by the secret police.
In a capitalist society where wealth inequality is rampant you will find people who use images or text that wasn't written /taken by them. In many cases I am sure these 'crimes of plagiarism' maybe a temporary lapse in judgement.
Should we slander these people for this so called crime?
How about some kindness and understanding towards our fellow citizens on this so called decentralized platform?
I am sure there are plenty of people who will argue that plagiarism is a major crime that must be stamped out on steemit.
To the creators of spaminator: what makes you any different to the thought police of the MSM and many institutions of capitalist society that try and exercise control over ordinary people?
