The debate over speech rights just took an interesting turn. On one side, authorities argue that restricting certain behaviors protects democratic values. On the other, critics point out the contradiction: if you're limiting someone's movement or consequences over speech-related actions, how does that align with free expression principles?
It's a classic tension playing out on the global stage—the line between regulation and censorship keeps shifting depending on who's drawing it. For those in the Web3 space, where decentralization and permissionless access are core ideals, this kind of policy friction hits differently. The core question remains: when oversight becomes restrictive rather than protective, does it serve the system it claims to defend?
These policy moves are worth watching, especially for anyone committed to speech freedom and open networks.

It's the same old story again, using the banner of protecting democracy to conduct censorship. Web3 fears this approach the most.

Honestly, I'm tired of this rhetoric. Power loves to justify censorship by claiming to "protect democracy," but Web3 is the real way out.
