I am posting this in support of the Catalonian independence referendum that is currently being repressed by the centralist Spanish government, by violent means. I spent a summer in Barcelona as an intern during college - the Catalonians are some of the most gifted, hard working, creative people I have ever met! They were brutally repressed during the Franco regime and have been fighting for their independence ever since. Shame on Google for suppressing the voting applications at the request of the Spanish government, and shame on the Spanish government for suppressing the mere expression of political will at the voting booth.
As a sidenote, how cool is it that this type of suppression of speech is technologically impossible on Steemit???
