The only problem with this is that hive could become facebook, youtube and those guys.
The reason that they want to censor messages on those platforms are to cater to the advertisers. Advertisers would also want personal data so they could target the ads better this would bring in more money.
I think if we let this in here it would be much the same because money often sets the course.

Facebook and youtube are selling their platforms to advertisers and their argument is to provide a lot of knowledge about the users and target the ads accordingly. This is not the same here. The idea would be to provide a webspace for adnetworks to put banners and ads on the Hive.blog platform. This means that it's not the data of the people who is sold, it's just the webspace with the according traffic. I've been doing that on my faucets for a very long time and I was always free to choose what kind of ads I would put. I think it wouldn't influence the content of the platform and people could easily opt-out simply by using browsers like brave. It would however allow to generate some income that would help to stabilize Hive.
