Steem is selling itself as a place of no censorship an alternative to reddit or any other site with potential corporate censorship. There is some truth to that, steemit doesn't take your posts down most of the time but there is censorship. The steemit community can censor by flagging your post, this doesn't take down your post but it makes it harder to see. I have to ask who are these people that flag posts, when I look at posts on steemit I don't go around flagging people's posts, in fact I've been on this site for awhile I've never seen anything I was offended by. If I look at my many flags I notice that most are mundane for example I got flagged for a post on trump becoming the presumptive nominee before hillary, a post on bitcoin going up in the market and a post on the dao. These posts are my opinion and I've never said I was posting unbiased news like anybody does anyways. I've been flagged for risky posts but I'm not complaining here about those. I'm disapointed Steem isn't a free speech medium.
