The White House and Facebook running coordinated censorship campaign
This Thursday Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary openly admitted to the Biden administration coordinating censorship of Fecebook activities of those viewed as promoting disinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines. Apparently, administration agents flag suspect posts for Facebook with the view of the latter subsequently taking some sort of a censorship action.
Hence the question: wouldn't this be a violation of the people's First Amendment rights? Wouldn't this be tantamount to acknowledging that no clear line can be drawn between the Facebook and the Biden administration? And wouldn't this fascistic power arrangement be about as antithetical to the spirit of the US Constitution as one can get?

Censorship is against people. And this is a good opportunity to highlight the fact that there is no censorship on the Hive blockchain. Everything people post on the Hive blockchain will remain on the blockchain as long as the blockchain exists. Even if you edit your post/comments, the original will still be visible on the blockchain level.
Great point!
I actually wonder how Hive would block genuinely illegal content (incitement, illegal porn, etc.).
