as someone that 'didn't go with the flow' and found out what it means to 'piss off the system' ..
i can tell you those 'authoritarian actors' already exist here. berniesanders is one. he silences and basically kicks people off here that he doesn't like.
he doesn't like people with certain opinions.
i'd wager a pretty accurate guess that he is in on it.
anyway.. the war to compromise the blockchain has been going on a long time. it started with the bots..
Did you know that steemit started off requiring proof of brain?
they changed that not long ago tho.. but they allowed it long before they changed it.. and i later heard berniesanders had influence with ned. what a bunch of shit.
the bots gave them more power than the users as it was a centeralized power that just continues to grow. (they make more than they give)
but.. that doesn't erase things from the block chain.. true censorship isn't possible.
this is a grab for total, complete.. censorship.
