Let me try and make some distinctions for you.

The Hive blockchain: By publishing content to the decentralised Hive blockchain we are able to achieve data ownership on our own accounts and censorship resistance.

This is because no matter what, our data like the text we write in blogs, is always forever published to the blockchain and linked to our account.

Nobody can take that away and that is the biggest selling point of Hive.

Different Hive front-ends: Front-ends are the domains that display the content publicly like leofiance.io, peakd.com or hive.blog.

These are privately owned, privately hosted gateways to the content and as a result, are subject to laws and standards.

While your content will always be on the blockchain itself, you can be censored from a front-end if you don't meet these standards.

Every front-end will have different standards and be subject to different laws depending on where they're hosted so if you don't like 1, just move to/create another.

SEO happens at the domain level: In terms of SEO, Google doesn't care that we are all publishing content to the Hive blockchain and only sees us as competing domains.

So when working on SEO, we have to focus separately on each domain.

What the domain owners can do, is make sure that they've included in their front-end's code, something that tells Google which version should be viewed as the 'original'.

This is called the canonical and even though you see the post duplicated across multiple domains, it won't incur a penalty because the code tells Google which is the original version. (LeoFinance has this setup).
