@VitalikButerin: Europe should take Pirate Party approach, not totalitarian

Vitalik Buterin argues that European governments should take a Pirate Party approach of user empowerment rather than pursue an environment free of disliked content, which he calls totalitarian and anti-pluralistic. He says a free society must accept that some people will sell products and voice views others consider dangerous or false, and that the real goal is to keep such content from dominating, not to remove it. He supports incentives for social platforms to be more open and transparent, including his proposal that algorithms be published with a one- to two-year delay alongside zk-proofs that the live algorithm matches the published one. He also says Taiwan has done something similar, as @audreyt has described, and opposes banning anonymity for individual posters.
