Can anyone get cancelled or censored on Twetch? How does t…

you are asking the right questions young twetchopper

if an angry mob wants to quote tweet you and spam your replies, you profit.

how much would they pay for your silence? name your price

My understanding is you can't be censored. However everything you post is forever on the Blockchain so that keeps people accountable.

Every interaction corresponds with a bitcoin transaction. Twetch has a small profit margin on each transaction.

Nudists

I believe they make 10% on all transactions made through the site. But there are tools made available by them to write that data yourself.

I imagine that their new market is likely to be a big income source down the road also

You can remove content. They

...don't allow adult content, for example. But the data is still there. They just block some of it. If they went Twitter/YouTube on people and started going nuts censoring, anyone else could make a site to read the data and complete.

It's almost like your data is a Blu-ray, and Twetch is the entertainment system letting you interact with it. you might have some that are like minimalistic portables, and others that are monsters with power user features.

So they can permanently suspend someone if they wanted to? Meaning, could a Trump co-exist here without being silenced?

Do they have bylaws?

Nope! No censoring here! And welcome to twetch! Twetch takes a cut of the bitcoin which should decrease as more and more users jump aboard and use the platform. If I am not mistaken. Im near certain josh the awesome frog would be happy to answer that too.

quality explaination mate.

Twetch makes money the way Google and Facebook have been trying to make money since the early 2000s before they gave in and went ad model: micropayments. Twetch takes a small cut of each TX. It's beautiful. Like just-in-time supply chain at light speed

@4 you want to join in on answering these questions moist?

You pay only for what you use, and they supply only what you need. So much more efficient. Cheaper for the user (and less invasive) and more profitable for the company. Win-win. Plus, the data analytics potential is waaaaay bigger than current ad shit

since they're liable for the data written to the site, they'd have to blacklist harmful data. but whoever uploads harmful data has a paper trail leading back to them. you'd be stupid to post it

These are all VERY good questions @42848 . Like in your latest intv with Metakovan, he mentions something abt how Tech companies are govts n while I dont agree I see the point
Whats eye opening n the important point is that govts are sleeping on this tech

They can definitely suspend people from the site. They can filter any data out that they see fit. We just trust that they wont. But @852 can speak more to the specifics of their policies.

However, the market is more free to correct in the event of going

any posts twetch tries to censor could be found on a block explorer

Twetch could ban a user, but the user's content has been permanently stored to the public blockchain. So for example, any other group could create a different front end to connect to the blockchain (back end) to display the banned user's content.

...evil due to owning our data.

When Trump was removed, there was a huge influx to competitors in spite of losing your network. Imagine how many more would have left if moving to another site meant that your (and Trump) history, network remained in tact.

the platform is the BSV blockchain not twetch. Twetch is just the interface. Im sure there will be more competition in the future. Some will offer censored content. Some will offer no holds barred. You get to choose your expierience.

No need for youtube Facebook twitter
The future is on BSV
No middle Man you get Paid for what you Produce
99% of Producer on YouTube make almost nothing
Today you saw on twetch you Made a good amount of money with probably only 2000 interaction

You can't be banned from the blockchain. Only the the company hosting the front end of the site. So there could always be competitors who could create a competing platform that uses the same back end blockchain for it's data.

The way social media is done will evolve. They will be a shared protocol instead of an app. Instead of me following Trump on a centralized database, i follow him directly on the blockchain. The platform like Twetch then will then act as an user interface.

@109 Im trying to explain the "you own your own data (as of soon)" here but I think you'd do a better job articulating it.

The data, your twetches, likes, comments, friends, followers, people you follow are all on chain on Bitcoin SV blockchain. If Twetch removes you, you can take everything with you to another platform. Platforms then incentivized to not mess about censoring

So even if a service bans Trump, all his data are on the public blockchain which can be extracted by another service. He wont loose his followers since they follow him on public blockchain.

While we are on the subject would our passphrase grant us access to the content again? That's how the content is owned by us right ?

@292 pay attention! Upcoming interview questions? 👀😆
But yes you can get cansored from Twetch, meaning this website which reads from blockchain can choose not to show certain things, but these things are still on the BSV ledger and can be read manually.

Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of any twetch post you see. And click Blockchain Transaction. This will take you to the public (bitcoin sv) blockchain where you can see where the data from that twetch post is being stored

Twetch can censor, but because they don’t own the data, any company can trivially fork and display anyone’s content if they sign access to it. So if Twetch starts acting like lizard people, Twetch 2.0 can come and easily recreate ALL of twetch.

Instead of platform competing for users data, they compete on the best way they can serve the data.
Example : Go to www.bitsurf.network/u/42848 and you can view all your data since they are not stored by Twetch.

Once you navigate to this screen, you could scroll down to where you see 'OP RETURN' mentioned. Click Twetch Post button the write to expand the section. You can think of this OP RETURN section as a comment field in every bitcoin transaction.

There’s a threat of competition here that simply doesn’t exist amongst large platforms that your data, so the incentive for Twetch is not to censor.

Also Twetch makes money off users. Not corporate ads, so there is less pressure to moderate.

Twetch is utilizing this OP RETURN field to store the content from a twetch post when one is made. This is how data is stored on the block chain. And this is how, if twetch were you ban you, any other company who knew how to, could point at ...

The data stays forever onchain.

They can choose not to show any data they want on this UI.

Immutable blockchain > Twetch api > Twetch UI

correct locations in the blockchain, to get the data that a given user has previously stored on the blockchain.

I am a software engineer but I'm not a blockchain engineer. There are many on here, however, who are; these people may be able to explain what I just attempted to in a better way, but that was my best attempt at explaining things how I understand them.

Services make money direct through users interaction and not by selling users data. Unlike Facebook, Twitter etc. having their individual network effects, the Bitcoin network as a whole will have the network effect and users can seamlessly come and go.

Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have additional questions. Or just Twetch them and the entire community can help answer them.

I think we really need to see multiple platforms take off to see your data hold real value as there will be more places to voice opinions without being removed from a platform

And those platforms would have to hold non censorship outlooks without working together to ban across multiple platforms

What if Twetch offers an encrypted and delete Twetch feature, wouldn’t that make it impossible for a 2nd party to copy the content?

Twetch can decide to hide your posts. But they'll still be there available on the blockchain for anyone to read.

Twetch takes a % of every interaction.

The growing movement in legacy society platforms to ban you for off platform activity they deem bad will be their downfall

Crypto needs to build in a fashion that prevents this culture and thus becomes more appealing to legacy users
