Vitalik recently discussed the EU Digital Services Act's proposed "zero space" governance framework and offered an interesting perspective. He believes that simply labeling certain speech or goods as objects that must be thoroughly removed reflects an inherently anti-diversity and anti-inclusion governance mindset. This "black or white" regulatory approach stands in stark contrast to the open ecosystem philosophy advocated by Web3. It is worth considering whether, in the era of globalized the internet, overly strict regulatory logic can truly solve problems or if it will stifle innovation and diversity.

V God is right; the EU's "zero tolerance" framework is a blunt, one-size-fits-all approach. Black-and-white regulation really stifles diversity, and Web3 was originally meant to break through such centralized censorship. Ironically, the more restrictions are imposed, the more people want to break through, which actually raises the cost of violations. Regulators always want a perfect world, but innovation gets stifled right there. I really can't understand this logic... Will彻底清除 solve the problem?

Vitalik is starting to criticize regulations again. This guy is really the face of Web3.

The EU's "Zero Space" logic is a typical one-size-fits-all approach that cannot be controlled at all.

The EU's "Zero Space" approach is really outrageous; the black-and-white mentality that has long been outdated should have been eliminated long ago. By the way, Vitalik is right on this point—overregulation ultimately stifles itself. Web3 is about breaking this deadlock. Can regulatory authorities stop thinking in terms of all-or-nothing? Is it really that difficult to leave some gray areas? The innovation landscape is being increasingly suffocated by rules and restrictions, which feels a bit uncomfortable. Instead of banning, it's better to guide. Why is this concept so hard to understand? Who says it must be completely eradicated? This logic is medieval—it's really unsustainable. Open ecosystems versus strict regulation; in the end, users just go somewhere else, and the EU is playing on its own.

nah this "zero tolerance" framework is just market inefficiency waiting to happen. vitalik's right—binary regulation creates massive arbitrage gaps between jurisdictions. EU's basically printing alpha for anyone willing to route around it lol

V哥 is right, the EU's "Zero Space" framework is a typical one-size-fits-all approach, and it won't produce any good results.

The EU's "Zero Space" framework is really a bit outrageous. Why does it have to be so absolute? Isn't this just a copy of centralized thinking?
