Ethereum's co-founder just dropped some thoughts that got people talking. V神 pointed out something paradoxical—a certain social platform that once championed itself as the ultimate beacon of free expression? Yeah, it's taken a weird turn. According to him, what used to be a space celebrating open dialogue has morphed into something else entirely, a breeding ground for hostility and divisive rhetoric.
Here's the kicker: he argues this isn't just about unpleasant content floating around. It's deeper. When hate speech runs rampant, it actually suffocates genuine free speech. Sounds counterintuitive, right? But his point is that toxic environments drive away diverse voices, leaving only the loudest and most aggressive ones.
What really concerns him is the ripple effect. This isn't just about one platform going south—it's about fundamental social values getting eroded. As we push further into this decade, he's worried these shifts could mess with how communities interact, how trust gets built, and ultimately how decentralized ecosystems function. Food for thought from someone who's been thinking about digital society since before most of us cared about blockchain.

It's another rant from V God on Twitter. This guy is not wrong... Free speech has been hijacked by extreme voices.

V God is right. The more lax the regulation on these platforms, the more chaotic it becomes.
The point is correct, but no one listens. Everyone is busy tearing each other apart.
True freedom of speech has been hijacked by toxic content, which is ironic.
That's why we need Web3. Centralized platforms should have gone extinct long ago.
Toxic environments drive rational people away, leaving only extremists.
In the end, it's all about profit motives. Algorithms promote content solely for engagement.
These issues should have been seriously addressed three years ago. It's too late now.
But when Vitalik speaks, everyone listens. No one cares about ideas like ours.
The health of the ecosystem directly affects trust. He sees this clearly.
This logic also applies to DAO governance; it's all about the same problem of power corruption.
Social platforms are no longer what they used to be. They are dead.

V God is not wrong; certain platforms indeed have become distorted... Under the guise of freedom, they are increasingly censoring.
