This is the second part of my Steemit censorship issue that has affected many Steemians over the past year. My hopeful vision is that everyone on this wonderful network exercises sound judgment and restraint before applying punitive measures.
Even applying punishments towards material that we deem hateful or prurient is still a questionable action. After all, who determines what is "hateful" or "prurient?" I fear that without proper controls, even well-meaning decentralized censorship is still censorship applied through a different channel.
These are simply my opinions on a serious topic. I encourage all viewpoints in this matter...I just want to get the dialogue started!
