    Hi! Did you know that steemit.com is now censoring users and posts based on their opinions?
    All the posts of these users are gone!
    https://github.com/steemit/condenser/commit/3394af78127bdd8d037c2d49983b7b9491397296

    Here's a list of some banned users:
    'roelandp', 'blocktrades', 'anyx', 'ausbitbank', 'gtg', 'themarkymark', 'lukestokes.mhth', 'netuoso', 'innerhive'
    See anyone you recognize? There could be more, they also have a remote IP ban list.

    Will you be censored next?
