Mainstream services and platforms are known for their AI censorship systems that have access to everything you do, and has caused a lot of well-known people, such as McJuggerNuggets, Donald Trump, or Geyser, to move to alternative platforms, including Web3 ones.
However, many alternatives also embraced mainstream-style censorship, like Pinterest censoring autocomplete queries or unjustified account suspensions, which deters numerous internet users from moving to those alternative Web2 services.
This post will show the first and only reason why most of them fail, but Web3 doesn't.
Despite supporting free speech, many alternatives, especially centralized ones, still censor everything, even good things, have deleted innocent accounts, and some banned from returning to them outright just for the excuses of "sockpuppeting" or "ban evasion", and they violate the First Amendment of the Constitution or any similar amendments outside the United States.
Below are two horrendous examples of censorship.
On October 7, 2025, after interacting with a then-recent post by President Trump, my Truth Social account got yanked for the allegations of "Terms of Service violations", and gave zero explanation for why I got banned. Because of this, I decided to leave TS forever.
Pinterest censors autocomplete queries that can literally apply to everything, even places of the world, and there is no way to disable that feature. For example, they censored the word "autism", no joke.
Even if the moderation teams allow me to return to where I got banned, I might return to those places, but there is an extremely low chance.
Web3 is a beneficial Edison-esque invention for the following reasons below.
While some are centralized, many Web3 services and platforms are decentralized, which they have human moderation teams and not controlled by a big corporation.
Many Web3 ones use protocols, which, instead of storing data on massive Silicon Valley-level data centers, work as admin-managed relays running on their very own actual servers or virtual private servers (VPS) and to make sure users can access to what such relays contain.
Web3 can't live without cryptocurrencies on the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana, because decentralization must have such digital financial technology to generate revenue or payments, and this is a pre-requisite for our technology.
Web3 cares about free speech and financial freedom, a lot of Web2 equivalents censor and demonetize everything, and for the one thing nobody said in these innovative Web3 services: "My video got demonetized!".
This post highlights the sole reason why most alternative services and platforms fail, but Web3 doesn't, as well as two notorious cases of mainstream-like censorship and the second heading proving that Web3 grows over the soon-to-be outdated Web2. This post aligns with my last year's migration from Web2 to Web3 in order to escape censorious practices that Web2 does.
Alright, thanks for reading!๐

There was a mistake where the third reason on the second header said "Ethereal" instead of "Ethereum", it's because my operating system has an autocorrection system. So, I have edited it.
