Peoples curiosity has also arose about Twitter suspending Splinsterland as to whether the platform is using its status to bring other NFTs players which might be a competition to its, down by lauching its own product “a la” Amazon.
Others NFTs operators like Chris Roberts from splintersland believes it could be a censorship highlighting the needs of more censorship resistant platforms like Block chain and Peakd.
Considering the fact that splinsterland operate on other platforms like Hive and even tweeted the news from their blockchain’s latest token pairing the same morning, it is still of concern that the censorship resistance the Hive Blockchain gives could also comes under the attack of social media giants.
This is because other platforms have had their hosting and other sevicescanceled by Big Tech platforms.
