RE: Elon Musk's Bannings Shows The Need For Hive

1 commentsยท0 reblogs

Seems to me that Elon Musk... pretty much like any person claiming to be a visionary, and having some power and influence... is a big fat hairy hypocrite.

"Everyone should have free speech, as long as it is my VERSION of free speech!"

That's even true with a decentralized consensus-based system like Hive. Sure, maybe your account can't be BANNED here, but we already know that the consensus can put up a virtual "invisibility cloak" around anyone who has a fringe-unpopular point of view.

Not even saying that as a criticism of Hive, saying that as an observation about human nature. Whatever we may say, the vast majority of people may be in favor of free speech, but ultimately want a "sanitized" version of free speech.

Strikes me there really aren't any straightforward or easy answers, there...
