Excellent addition to the discussion. Given that many of us have only one provider of broadband internet available to us, the ISPs need to be prevented from restricting our use of the net. Unfortunately, this is already done. We can vote with our feet to avoid Gargle, Fakebook, and Twatter, and I do, and as that censorship becomes less tolerable, more people that care about censorship will join us.

However, there are plenty of people that don't care. Oddly, a lot of people actually prefer to be in echo chambers, and I have recently abandoned Ars Technica, where I have contributed to the fora for almost two decades, because it has devolved into a snarky popularity contest unsuitable for scientific debate.

I entered into a debate on a science issue there this week, and counted a ratio of about 30 insults and ad homina comments per actual substantive datum.

I reckon Steemit will have to settle for only the best content creators, instead of those who only want to hear from like minds, as Steemit can't offer them much of an echo chamber, being uncensored.

Oh, well. I can live with that. As long as my ISP lets me.
