Steemit's Current Flagging System Will Lead to Unwanted Censorship

in steemit •  8 years ago 

I'm don't care for the flagging part at all.
If someone doesn't like your story they should just go on by to something they do like.
You shouldnt be able to cause people problems just because you dont like their post or comment, or disagree with it.

    That's part of the point I was trying to make. Jealousy, disagreement and dislike are not reasons to flag. It's supposed to be used solely for spam, plagiarism, deceptive tagging, verbal abuse, etc.

    And yet, given the power... you create the monster. The First Amendment doesn't read "shall make no law (...) abridging the freedom of speech... except for XYZ." If you do, you end up with a democracy... two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. Mob rule. The majority can overthrow the rights of the minority.

      You can't cause someone problems by flagging, unless enough highly steem powered people agree with you.

          To show I think downvoting is an important part of steemit and to protest recent changes like making downvoting flagging.

              Or if you as an author don't have enough followers to upvote away from the downvotes. The whales survive and crush the minnows. Two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for dinner. AKA democracy.
