RE: Crash course for images on Steemit - steemcleaners downvotes for plagiarised images
"This essentially punishes the innocent because some people do bad things. That is backwards and Orwellian... I shouldnt have to cite myself and be inconvenienced because it's too much work for you to manually confirm."
I agree, particularly with the Orwellian comparison. I do not like the idea of being forced to use some type of approved source for images. I would say that censorship and bullying is not far behind.
Oh, what a cluster...
Nice to meet you, @huntbook. Yes, this type of thing is the antithesis of freedom.
I believe we must have a collective checks and balances, but this is anything but a consensus. This is the equivalent of a self appointed sheriff, which needs to be shut down.
I guess that is why this issue plugs me in so thoroughly. I can't stand bullies, of any kind. It's been known to get me in a lot of trouble...Best!
