RE: The First Amendment should be sacred on Steemit. Leave the "Hate Speech" Orwellian EU failing policy to Facebook and Twitter.
Even if its hidden it is still there. people can see that it was flagged and make a decision to view it or not. But its still there. It is not removed or altered.
So the flagging doesn;t remove the content from the platform like if facebook or twitter censored a post, then it would be gone forever from that platform (maybe cached somewhere).
sure it is better than facebook and twitter already.
like most I rarely check hidden posts....but the few times I did I was disappointed to see posts were being hidden (censor-flagged) for very questionable reasons.
I agree, some flaggs are not warranted.
I have received a few flags. I just ask them why they flagged me and offer an argument for why they shouldn't flag. And sometimes they remove it. ^^
Freedom isn't free.
Did you know in some states people can carry machine guns and scream hate BUT they can't collect the rain that falls on their head.
Amazing world.
