One of the issues I see for Steem is it really isn't geared for the censorship resistant aspects. I know it's said that downvotes aren't censorship, but when they have the ability to grey out posts, and if an account receives enough downvotes their posts/comments are no longer visible, it makes what is acceptable subject to the whims of large accounts (as is evidenced here).

The fact is, the nation is divided almost evenly. But one half is given the nod by the power players with the other half scripted to be censored. If the power really is with the masses, then all that is lacking is the channel/tunnel to focus those masses. This seems a clear indication for sure that everything is being scripted.

I have a bad feeling the coming year will see an erosion of rights unparalleled in the U.S. Notice all the constant updates lately to virtually everyones TOS and privacy policies. Many involving an agreement that they will be freer to share your information. Many involving more recording of ones every action. The end game is fast approaching, it seems to me. The cattle are being rounded up.
