In this video I provide an audio version of my previous article, "Why Steemit Is The Platform Of The People And The Answer To Censorship," published with Disobedient Media. Both the video and the article are my intellectual property.
I also add in a bit of response to the comments I received after publishing the article.
Many, many thanks to the amazing, kind, and welcoming community here at Steemit for the warmth with which you've treated all the independent media turning to this platform as a safe haven away from legacy social media platforms that have censored us so radically over the last few months. I hope that by being here indie media helps Steemit grow and strengthen the wonderful community that has been established here!
Thanks to you all! (Especially for the patience of those who have helped me through technical bumps in getting the work out there in an ideal format! Than you @fortified and @v4vapid and a great many others! Also thanks to @suzi3d for encouraging me to start an account! :)

The steem blockchain is the answer to censorship, but SteemIt can be censored and will be if it gains like every other platform on the internet.

How would steemit get censored?

SteemIt is a website like any other with a domain registered at ICANN. So if it does not censor whatever governments or right holder requests it could be shutdown. SteemIt is not the pure blockchain of steem, it's a layer which can filter what get's displayed.

I think the best use-case for STEEMIT is investigative journalism! No one can control what they report on! Bright future indeed!

Steemit is the way of the future. I was recently looking at the number of daily active users and I think we are about to reach a tipping point where the platform explodes with new growth and the Steem token joins the top ranks in crypto currency

Yeah, its impossible to censor anything. That includes illegal content of the sort most people would agree should be illegal - it would require all nodes of the network to delete a file at the same time as such would require it not only to be illegal all around the globe (or everyone who maintains a node to agree) but also to be deleted at the same time from all nodes. And of course, all data that is part of the blockchain itself cant ever be removed even in such a case.

Good point but it is still of immense value to independent media.

Not saying its not. It will be interesting to see how this develops. I know we cant keep any information illegal forever - if an AI ever sees anything which is illegal to portrait, the memory itself would be illegal. Heck, if i transfered my mind to a machine the memories of my teens would be illegal as i didnt just start having sex at the age of 18. I understand why some data might be illegal, but in the end its not the data that is the problem, if anything its the fact that it occoured in the first place to have data about it.

Great how you describe your view on steemit and I completely agree with you. Still I also see a few downsides (as ranted about in my other posts)
I also see how important the good aspects are and i'll try to way them down against my arguments. Still my arguments stand and they should be looked at by BIG NAMES of the internet. Assange Snowden and Dotcom big. Once they can agree on this then I'll worrie less about this and will try to find some other issues to worrie about . :-D
We all should... It's the only way to make steemit the future.
Constructive feedback.
Without being affraid to be wrong, ridiculed etc.
So THANK YOU.
Thank STEEMIT.
Someone should interview the creators.
And eventually probe them with my questions as well. :-)
Keep up the good work! It's much appriciated, also to me in my role as steemit glitcher.
STEEM ON!
