There's some truth to your comment but it's harder to regulate decentralized platforms like the Steem-Blockchain Steemit, DTube and other frontends are based on than centralized platforms like Youtube, Twitter and Facebook. Sure it's theoretically possible for governments, etc. to take down frontends for the Steem-Blockchain but it's not possible for them to take down the decentralized Steem-Blockchain itself where the data are linked which themselves are saved in the also decentralized Interplanetary Filesystem (dear Steemians who are already for a longer time active than me in the Steem-Blockchain, please correct me if I'm wrong).

That means yes, governments could take down frontends like Steemit and DTube but everyone is also able to build a new non-censored frontend and the actual data are permanently stored in the Steem-Blockchain and IPFS and can't be deleted.
