This account is a form of resistance to the spread of intellectual foolishness and lunacy that is threatening the intelligent and sustainable progress of human civilization."

My position after reading this statement is, the general IQ level on HIVE is at least 50 points above the general public by default. I feel like we can decide for ourselves what's quakery and what's not. And we should also be able to decide for ourselves which quakery we care to subscribe to.

That being said, if there is information being disseminated that could harm others, if assumed true, I don't see any harm in having it be challenged by a third party. Whether or not HIVE should be that party is lock-step with how youtube and facebook regulate and censor their content.

On the one hand, they consider themselves exempt from authorship and responsibility. On the other hand, they pull information that does not suit their positional needs. This occasionally includes content that they believe might "harm" the public if disseminated. I think it's generally never a good idea to censor OTHER people's content, unless you assume responsibility for the liability as the overarching publisher of that content.
