RE: Do you think Steemit needs an account verification or KYC feature?
"One's freedom stops where starts the freedom of others".
If one wants to be art of a community, it should (formally or implicitly) accept the rules of the community - refrain from doing what the community considers "off limits".
That would be "self censorship" if you wish, accepted for the sake of the others.
It's not about "KYC" because there's no "seller - customer" relationship here. It's more "KYF" - know your fellow. And it shouldn't be imposed, it should be an entry rule in the community: if you want to belong to the steem community, you need to assume responsibility for your behavior. You need to have something at stake - here, by revealing your real world identity, your put your real world reputation at risk
Some people do not want to put their real world identity (or life?!) at risk when they speak their mind online, and thankfully STEEM allows people to speak their mind without fear of repercussions, whether it be by governments or others that disagree with them. That’s the beauty of it all.
