RE: Steemit's Current Flagging System Will Lead to Unwanted Censorship

in #steemit8 years ago

That's part of the point I was trying to make. Jealousy, disagreement and dislike are not reasons to flag. It's supposed to be used solely for spam, plagiarism, deceptive tagging, verbal abuse, etc.

Sort:  

And yet, given the power... you create the monster. The First Amendment doesn't read "shall make no law (...) abridging the freedom of speech... except for XYZ." If you do, you end up with a democracy... two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. Mob rule. The majority can overthrow the rights of the minority.
