RE: YouTube Censorship What about Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago

one of the reasons why iTune's social media Ping failed was because of too much restrictions and censorship. People join social media mostly because their friend's are already there or because they want to create something on the new ground. Flags are good to mark plagiacism but if people will get restricted only because others don't like what they have to say, it doesn't make any sense... It's not what freedom of speech is and if people will get restricted too much just because others may not like it, they will just leave

Sounds like you gave a reason for Flags - Plagiarism
So how does a flag work that only addresses plagiarism? Maybe a punishment to the person that used the flag future when no plagiarism is found? ok, so what is that punishment, because a bot could care less about losing rep or rewards.
Tough Questions when it comes to flags, especially considering if you have $5,000 to invest you could create what 10,000 or 20,000 bots maybe more. Maybe I'm talking out of my butt here a bit. A good way to look at anything in my opinion is "ok i want this power" now imagine if your worst enemy gets the power instead. Still want that power? Or better if no one has it?
