Recently, a big news broke in the crypto world—Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin directly called out on the X platform.

He posted several updates in a row, directly accusing the platform of being used to incite hostility towards Europe. V神's exact words were: "The platform is sliding from the ideal of free speech into organized aggressive speech." In other words, he feels that the current situation has deviated from the original intention.

This is no small matter.

The direct confrontation between two top figures in the tech circle centers on how to define the boundaries of speech on social platforms. On one side is the belief in "free speech above all," and on the other side is the concern that unchecked freedom could evolve into organized attacks. V神’s rare public criticism of another big shot shows how much he cares about this issue.

Honestly, the online space truly needs more constructive discussions. Freedom does not mean having no bottom line, but where is that bottom line? Perhaps no one can give a definitive answer. Social platforms must both protect users' right to express themselves and prevent platform abuse—striking this balance is really challenging.

What do you think? Should social platforms manage speech? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
