I'm glad to see your content here. Something you didn't mention in your post regarding censorship is that Google, Fakebook, and Twatter were all funded and essentially created by covert government ops. These aren't private businesses at all, but covert government agencies intent on surveillance, propaganda, and censorship.

Accordingly, seeking redress of grievance from the government that deliberately imposed the grief is inadvisable. As we see from history, asking politely for your oppressors to 'Stahp!' isn't effective. What is effective is unilateral action to address the griefers directly. Doing so eliminates to problem.

Steemit is a glimpse of how that can be done. While you're new here, and I vividly recall my own giddy delight that Steemit was the perfect counter to the enemedia, restrain such impulses until you better grasp the subtle nuances of how the rewards mechanism actually operates, and you'll be able to perceive the gestalt, affording you capacity to comment cogently, and act intelligently, thereon.

I would like to point out that @perceptualflaws has just posted quite an epic research into how frequency manipulation is part and parcel of social control mechanisms now being executed. Concatenated with military and police power, propaganda and censorship, and bureaucratic and institutional means, a potent drive to keep the cattle in the herd is underway.

The gist of your introduction indicates you prefer to retain, or attain, free agency, and I support and admire this effort.

Welcome to Steemit =)
