In response to the EU's Digital Services Act emphasizing 'zero space' governance, Vitalik tweeted calling for user empowerment, incentive mechanisms, and transparency to replace 'purification-style' control to uphold true freedom of speech and a diverse society. Vitalik believes this 'zero space' concept is authoritarian and anti-diversity, as it seeks to completely eliminate subjective controversial content (such as 'hate speech' or 'false information'), inevitably leading to conflicts and building a technical bureaucratic authoritarian mechanism for enforcement. Vitalik argues that a free society must accept that some people will sell 'dangerous products' or spread 'malicious interpretations,' but the goal should not be complete eradication, but rather preventing these contents from dominating discourse. Vitalik advocates for a 'pirate party-style' user empowerment: incentivizing rather than banning harmful content; pushing for social platforms to be more open, transparent, and so on.
