Anonymity protects the Underground, and censorship on social media.

I totally agree with you on the need for censorship free social media and media in general, and you've really done your research on Facebook which I love. But I'm not at all sure that Steemit will do that. I just wrote an article about this actually and would love to hear your opinion on it: https://steemit.com/steemit/@dcsignals/steemit-will-not-resist-censorship-it-will-bring-super-censorship-and-downvote-wars

    I think that a lot depends on the community. Downvoting doesn't really depend on the founders, but screening posts does. If platforms such as Steemit become as open and as prevalent as phpBB, I think that the most popular platforms will just appear on their own.
