RE: Task #14: Let's Find Prominent Steemians!
- Regardless of his politics, he is a pretty prominent author and personality in the far-right.
- He was banned from twitter last year according to this article from The Guardian.
- But he still has an active Youtube Channel with 391k subscribers.
The YouTube Channel is a relic... they've put it into a bizarre state where everything, including videos of Tommy handing a crowd funded electric wheelchair to a disabled child, are restricted...
Tommy isn't what the media portray him to be, and he never was.
Those of us working with him are absolutely determined to route around the big tech censors and that's one of the reasons I love having his material posted on Steem.
We should be posting his next video direct to 3speak later today.
If the media can make milquetoast Dave Rubin into an evil monster, Tommy Robinson is a walk in the park! lol
@brianoflondon you were gifted 150 Hobo tokens for believing in free speech.
The Hobo token will be the token that will bring the world truly decentralized journalism on Steem.
I've been following his account since day 1 on STEEM because I was curious about him given all the news, and at no point since did I think: this guy deserves to be silenced and attacked constantly. Maybe that makes me far-right sympathizer!
Or maybe you just don't like it when people are silenced for voicing unpopular opinions. Me, I don't necessarily agree with his politics, but it's accounts like these that are the reason decentralized platforms like the Steem blockchain exist... to give a platform for all types of opinions and views. It's up to the users to follow him or not.
I agree! Wanting to silence people just shows an inability to challenge people's ideas out in the open. People who have uninformed beliefs are those who seek to silence others. Whether or not their beliefs are correct, they don't have the ability to defend them, often because they are just parroting some thought leader. I am glad we have the ability to overcome that here. Cheers!
