RE: Steemit Posts are Being Flagged and Censored! Florida Shooting Hoax Coverup!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

The post is curated as Low Quality, it's not censored. There's no stretching Curation into Censorship, either the post is censored and therefore not available or it's still available, ultimately this is akin to calling things sorted by ratings, in the lowest ratings as censored simply because they are on the bottom of other posts. The fact that it's on a censorship-proof, transparent and decentralized platform, and which will always have the same transaction id and can be resurrected or linked without any effort and verified and validated by anyone, with or without an account.

Sneak is one of the developers, he is anti-conspiracy and noted him laughing at chemtrails. Some people aren't shills, only dumb, or ignorant. In efforts to "censor" anything two things usually happen: The thing that was curated as low quality piques people's interest simply because now it's replaced with some completely different from all other content on the platform: a Warnng (begging for attention) and a Button that is casually hidden in plain sight and if people are really interested they would figure that it reveals the article one way or another, and people get alarmed over something being Curated as Low Quality as if Freedom of Expression, or expressing that you think this content is CRAP, is actually censorship and affects the content in any way, outside the superficial and counter productive presentation. The effect is thus people believe that censorship is possible on a platform that is inherently built to counter censorship, which obviously isn't and couldn't be and only reflects on your broad interpretation of censorship as soon as it's challenged, as I couldn't challenge the obvious clear interpretation that clarityofsignal has.

The best part of these curations is that regardless the post being hit with a flag and hidden, it gets exposure, maybe more, maybe less, and there's someone, more often than not, that picks it up (it still shows up in the feed list, with the Warning).

Sneak is interesting because either he is Dumb or either he is Ignorant or a Paid Shill. I think that based on his behavior he's either a good shill that hasn't exposed himself (contradictory stances/loss of integrity in his stance) or doesn't think that Steem is the place for Conspiracy theory, which makes him dumb or ignorant, either way, he's clearly counterproductive in censoring this.
