[Vitalik Criticizes EU's 'Zero Space' Governance, Advocates for User Empowerment and Transparency Mechanisms] Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has criticized the 'Zero Space' governance concept proposed in the EU's Digital Services Act, arguing that user empowerment, incentive mechanisms, and transparency should replace 'purification-style' control to uphold freedom of speech and a diverse society. Vitalik pointed out that 'Zero Space' governance, which attempts to completely eliminate subjective controversial content (such as hate speech or misinformation), could lead to conflicts and the establishment of technocratic authoritarian mechanisms. He emphasized that free societies should accept the existence of a certain degree of controversial content, with the goal being to prevent it from dominating discourse rather than eradicating it entirely. Vitalik advocates for reducing harmful content through incentive mechanisms and promoting greater openness and transparency on social platforms.
