“Freedom goes both ways” only works if you exclusively look at freedom as a negative thing. Freedom from moderation. Instead of, as you should, acknowledging that it must also entail freedom to be safe from harassment and bigotry.
Yes I am aware. The original way Odysee works is on the LBRY blockchain for metadata, with a peer to peer network of video storage. Odysee is now switching their technology, but the LBRY blockchain was specifically made against any sort of censorship.
