RE: Proposal to make spam less profitable

in #steem7 years ago

The debate over free speech vs censorship is an age old one, and I certainly don't think we're going to solve it here in a few comments. Nevertheless, you make some excellent points, @bashadow. You've convinced me. To be honest it wasn't that hard though as I was leaning much more on your side of the fence anyway, I was mostly just playing devil's advocate .

I mean, while I'm all for free speech, I do believe that every man's (or woman's) home, or blog post, is their castle. And I know that if some douchebag was spouting some serious BS or what have you that I strongly disliked or found distasteful on my blog post I'd certainly feel well within my rights to delete.

Thanks for the chat! I love intelligent debate 8-)

Like you said it is a debate that will go on for a long time. An individual can not censor another person, if they could it would be against the law to tell anyone anywhere anytime to "Shut Up"! Catch 22.

Haha. Indeed! Thanks again for an enjoyable debate!
