Censorship resistant

I would like to start a discussion. Facebook, YouTube and Spotify have all recently started removing content from well known news site Infowars. Now before you jump to which side of the political fence you reside on I want people to take a step back and see what are the underlying issue is here. Has big tech turned political? Is this an example of centralized authority and their influential power? How is steem different and does it support censorship resistance? I would love to hear what you think!
