It has been a common occurrence on most of the existing web2 social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram for our contents, speech, public communication or other information to get suppressed or censored.

Most times, this censorship of contents or information are done on the basis that such material is considered to be sensitive or objectionable by a centralized or controlling body.

No doubt, there are some contents that are harmful to the society or the community and deserved to be censored. However, there are also some that are censored for the wrong reasons.

Nobody want their speech to get censored. Everyone want that sense of freedom. Everyone want their voice to be heard. Not because it is necessary but because they deserve as it is their fundamental human right.

There have been a number of web3 decentralized social media platforms such as Steemit, Hive, Whaleshares, Publish0x, Dtube and a number of others created to give options to social media users in a strive to put an end to censorship of information and contents.

The team behind The Great Ape Project hates censorship and this is why they've decided to be a saviour by playing their own role in the strive to fighting censorship most especially on the Solana Blockchain as they noticed there is no such solution on the Solana Blockchain yet.
