RE: Censorship Resistant Alternatives to YouTube

in #dtube6 years ago

My question is, how long before one of these becomes so big that the "monsters of oppression" or PTBs, however you wanna call 'em, will develop interest in and start forcing the people that are in control (after all there is control of access to these platforms) to start shutting down undesirables or at least divulge information about them. After all, these platforms already have their own policies, so it wont be long before these policies will evolve, just like youtube did. Anything that's small, PTB's don't care about, it's when it gets big and popular, that's when the problems, like we're seeing on today's internet arises. I remember, when now too many people gave a shiet about internet at all, there was no mass media, no big companies, nothing, just academic information basically, oh and porn, of course :) If we want real freedom of speech, we need a platform that's uncontrollable, period, let anyone have their say, no matter how lunatic it is and let the viewers choose what to believe. The battle of persuasion should not be skewed, it should be a fair game for everyone. It is the only true way to have freedom of speech. As long as there is someone at the helm, it will always be system of control, system of bias. Anarchy is the only way!

©Of course, that's just my opinion and I could be wrong :)

But, at least so far, I am allowed to express it here.

I agree and that is why I have focussed on decentralised platforms. While it is true that the founders have some control of them now while they are small, the whole point of blockchain based decentralised platforms is that no-one will control them, no one can buy them once they are mature.
The Steem blockchain is controlled by its witnesses which are elected by the community. Yes, Ned has some control but not complete like in a normal company. And this control will lessen as the platforms become more mature.
