So what exactly is the point of honest.cash if they're openly able and willing to censor you for your opinion? Why am i supposed to want to use this over Medium?

PREFACE: I'm a happy, proud memo.cash user. This is not a criticism of Bitcoin Cash, but rather its simply a criticism of the honest.cash platform.

Here in the FAQ it says:

"Is the content saved on blockchain?

We strive for uncensorable content. We offer writers an option to upload stories on Bitcoin Cash blockchain with the bitcoinfile protocol. We display the reference to the content saved on blockchain on the respective story page.

There is one misconception about the definition of "uncensorable". We will not prohibit any opinion expressed on the platform or try to censor it. However, content that promotes racism, crime, hate or similar will not be listed on the platform. Notwithstanding, the permissionless nature of the content saved on blockchain does not stop the owner of the content to promote such content somewhere else."

Racism: This word shouldn't even exist at this point, as its loose definition makes it literally useless. Am i racist if i say i don't like Mexican culture, or don't think asian women are that attractive? What makes something racist, and why are you demanding me to bow to your definition of it?

Hate: Hate is even worse than racism. What defines hate?!? Hate is literally the logical opposite of love, so by saying you love X, you're saying you hate -x. That's just basic logic.

Crime: Tax evasion is crime, disobeying the government is crime. Why are we defending statism here?

Similar: What is this supposed to mean?

Anyways, these rules are kinda dumb (unless you're a leftist / Progressive). I see a lack of utility in a medium-copycat that doesn't offer the decentralization or censorship resistance a blockchain or bitcoin based platform is supposed to have.

Can we adopt a completely anti censorship policy? Can we make it fundamentally anti censorship?

Edit: Made changes to mood of op. I think i like the platform, but i think its lacking here. We don't need another guy's political agenda. We need free speech.
