RE: Official Beta Launch of our Site!

I like it. I wish you every success.

That being said, I note a principle of physics is that equations work in both directions. Every speaker is a microphone, and every monitor is a camera. If photons or soundwaves going in can push electrons out the other side, then electrons going in can push photons or soundwaves out the other side.

"We have identified a censorship resistant group of people known as the torrenting community that has worked really hard over the last 20 years against censorship, and we are bringing them into the HIVE community..."

It is notable that the torrenting community is censorship resistant because it faces censorship. Bringing that censorship resistant community into Hive also brings that censorship to Hive. I point this out because on Hive censorship is free. Downvotes require only powered up tokens be possessed by the downvoting account, and aren't expended by downvotes, which negatively impact both the income and reputation of the recipient of downvotes.

In the event entities seeking to censor torrents grasp how Hive works, substantial downvotes could well result. I hope involved parties are not negatively impacted, and provide this information so that it can be considered in advance of any such potential.

Thanks!

Solid point.

How do you think the censorship that they face will impact the Hive community at large?

Well, if they understand how Hive works, all they need to do is drop a hunk of cash on powered up Hive, and start flagging.
