Yes but what we the users may or may not subjectively find virtuous or abhorrent is not necessarily of concern to the network which is what I think is so confusing for people. User express their taste or distaste for content by downloading and/or accessing it. But all the network is concerned with is network health, that is the production of content, rate of downloads, the number of safecoins issued and in existence, and the resources available on the network. That’s it. Whether users find one type of content over another type of content is no concern to the network beyond whether one file gets more GET requests opposed to another file.
The maidsafe network is not like a tribe or like government. It is like fire or air, it is the internet, it’s like a gun or a hammer or a sword or a car. It has no moral value in and of itself. The SAFE network does not CHOOSE in and of itself. It offers everyone the same deal, the same oppurtunities, the same security, privacy, freedom and access. Like @Safety1st said and the parable he cited illistrates people tend to get rather upset with the notion of true equality and freedom because much of their identity is tied up in tribalism and making alliances of one tribe against another. When something is truly neutral it’s outside that paradigm of tribalism. Can you make an alliance with the wind? Can the mountain join your tribe? Can you own the element of fire? Can you marry water? So too with the internet. It doesn’t belong to one of us or some of us but all of us. And that can be a frightening concept for some because they don’t like the idea of someone they don’t like having access to power they themselves have access to. They don’t like the idea of being on equal footing with someone they abhor or even empathizing with someone they abhor. God forbid they might actually get to know the person.
