RE: So, why is there a group on Steemit flagging down anti-vaccine content?
It's not censorship. Please can still view the content.
Except as it gets flagged lower, it gets hidden, and then won't be seen by most people.
I think the down vote and flag should separated slightly personally, I've argued for this before. I think you should be able to down vote to disagree and affect the payout without affecting the visibility. Flagging then would be downvoting and reducing visibility.
But still, what we have today is not censorship. Reducing visibility is not the same as hiding. The post is still there but grayed out. I repeat, Steemit.com does not hide content.
Couldn't agree more. When youtube censors someone, the content is completely removed and is inaccessible. Same goes for any number of other sites. On steemit, at the absolute most, you would have to click something one other time to make it 100% visible. I don't believe having to click one extra time is censorship.
It would be great if everyone would get this, and especially put it into a historical content of what censorship really is. Spread that wisdom around the chain!
Of you can save the URL.
