Odaily Planet Daily News: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin calls for Elon Musk's remarks on the H1B visa dispute to "turn down the temperature". Musk was fiercely defending the right of immigrants holding H1B visas to work for US companies at the time. Vitalik said that although he admires Musk's willingness to fight for freedom of speech, he expects him not to be biased in his speech and not to "abuse" the social media censorship system.
Musk openly supports top American companies to hire foreign skilled workers, which has aroused the anger of conservatives on X, and his mother thinks that the recruitment conditions in the United States are increasingly unfavorable to local citizens. Subsequently, several conservatives accused Musk's social media platform X of censorship, reportedly removing advanced features from accounts criticizing Musk's stance in the H1B visa debate.
When we agree with speech, respecting freedom of speech is easy, but when we think speech is bad, respecting freedom of speech is difficult, "Vitalik said." But regardless, the reason for respecting freedom of speech is the same as before: the ban is controlled by one group today, and tomorrow it will be controlled by another group. "He warned Musk to pay more attention to his tone and ensure that his power on X can benefit humanity.
The role of leaders in setting the tone is crucial, as it can be used for both good and evil, "Buterin added.
Buterin stated that 'banhammer' (an informal term used to describe moderators or administrators removing users who engage in inappropriate behavior) is another example of ineffective speech control measures, where 'in the end, public discourse either falls into a divide, a monoculture (the winner will be the one holding the biggest hammer, not the one with the best arguments), or a sustained war between everyone.'
