PANews December 27 News, in response to the European Union’s Digital Services Act emphasizing “zero space” moderation tweets, Vitalik calls for replacing “purification” control with user empowerment, incentive mechanisms, and transparency to uphold true freedom of speech and a diverse society.
Vitalik believes this “zero space” concept is an authoritarian and anti-diversity impulse because it attempts to completely eliminate subjective controversial content (such as “hate speech” or “misinformation”), which inevitably creates conflicts and builds technocratic authoritarian mechanisms for enforcement.
Vitalik argues that a free society must accept that some people will sell “dangerous products” or spread “malicious interpretations,” but the goal should not be complete eradication, rather preventing these contents from dominating discourse.
Vitalik advocates for a “Pirate Party-style” user empowerment: incentivizing rather than banning to reduce harmful content; promoting social platforms to be more open and transparent.
