RE: BIG Things! @ned at Consensus 2018 - The Legality of Content Takedowns (GDPR) & SMT Communities That Don't Use Stake Weighted Voting!

Could it be possible that the uncensored nature of the Steem blockchain becomes it's downfall due to the EU 'protecting' us from our own selves! :/

No. The downfall of steemit will be censorship and copyright laws, built for the current centralised structure. What is the point of havIng a decentralised platform, if we are advocating for working under centralised rules? Why do the majority of people seem to have stockholm syndrome when it comes to this issue. Copyright does not protect us, it protects the lawmakers and their exclusive clubs. All it does is limit freedom and creativity by those who want to enforce rules on everyone else.


I completely agree with you on the one user, one vote issue. There will always be a way around it, no matter what rules you implement. Whether you own multiple accounts or not. All the big players will still own the reward pool, via the power they can redistribute in new and varied forms. They still get to keep their current advantage in the long run, because they can 'afford it'. There will also be the case of even more gangs roaming around constantly voting on each others posts, regardless of 'quality'. This already happens In mass now, and will become even more prevalent as time goes on. A lot of screaming about big hitting reward pool rapers, while there is no real discussion about the gang vote rapers, created by some discord clubs. It's like we are back at school, either hanging with the 'cool kids', or left to fend for yourself because you're not cool enough or don't want to suck dick for votes. Exclusive clubs for votes. I thought people didn't like elitist tendencies? Oh the hypocrisy of some!

That's my little rant, now I'm off 😂

Sort:  

Regarding copyright, whether we like it or not, the fact remains that as long as the prevailing power hierarchies and governments exist, they will move to shut down those who ignore their rules. This is why Steemit inc. conforms to them. If the world in general decides that they prefer true freedom, then we will see change in that regard.

That is true.. thanks for the reply
