So interesting. It's just a bit shocking when you finally come to the realization that it REALLY WAS an orchestrated takeover attempt by the CCP. When you see it clearly it becomes more disturbing. Well, I see TWO major positive lines growing out of this :

( 1 ) We now have a PERFECT "A/B' test (case study) situation by which to SHOW the larger public how CCP-centralized ( #Steemit ) versus decentralized ( #Hive ) are different, by showing ACTUAL instances of censorship. This can be used to our ADVANTAGE to bring in new members to Hive. Its like a blessing in disguise.

( 2 ) It is a perfect political weapon against the CCP, on a broader scale. We should be writing up articles and reaching out to the anti-CCP crowd to show them the EVIDENCE of what is going on here. This will help BOTH expand the reach of Hive, AND contribute to the wider resistance movement.
