It's a bit the same question.

The censorship feature on UIs existed for years already, simply because of DMCA complaints. I think it's normal for domains to be able to do that to follow the law, at least that's why I have the feature on d.tube (piracy videos etc). Using this feature to block a competitor, is something different but it's something JS wants to do.

JS is allowed to add this to the terms of service to SteemIt.com, but it doesn't apply to the chain. Also, I'm pretty sure this was in reaction to the HIVE spam, and it will not actually change anything else in practise, we will keep seeing Mene promotion, or 3rd party dapps like games, and gambling. As long as it doesn't directly conflicts with JS interests.

I understand that he is allowed to do it, he has his stake and can do with it what he wants which includes supporting witnesses who agree with his positions. I know censoring was possible before, it just wasnt done this overtly. I was more asking your own personal opinion on if you are ok with this, is it something you would support if you were in a position to decide, etc..

Just looking for a personal answer and not as much of whether its right or wrong. I appreciate the response, I've been messaging the other top 20 witnesses (well the ones that are actual people and have made at least 1 steemit post) to try to gauge how they feel as well. I see myself more closely aligned with the Hive folks but I don't want to see steemit die either and id like to have people that care running it.
