maybe it's not clear, but i'm referring to flagging by people with a lot of SteemPower which results in posts becoming hidden. even 1 single flag by a whale or dolphin is enough.
a post becomes hidden but it's not censored? a contradiction in terms.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Even if its hidden it is still there. people can see that it was flagged and make a decision to view it or not. But its still there. It is not removed or altered.
So the flagging doesn;t remove the content from the platform like if facebook or twitter censored a post, then it would be gone forever from that platform (maybe cached somewhere).
sure it is better than facebook and twitter already.
like most I rarely check hidden posts....but the few times I did I was disappointed to see posts were being hidden (censor-flagged) for very questionable reasons.
I agree, some flaggs are not warranted.
I have received a few flags. I just ask them why they flagged me and offer an argument for why they shouldn't flag. And sometimes they remove it. ^^
Freedom isn't free.
Did you know in some states people can carry machine guns and scream hate BUT they can't collect the rain that falls on their head.
Amazing world.
