Remember when Europe stood for something radical? When speaking your mind wasn't a compliance issue?
Those days feel ancient now. What was once worth dying for—actual free expression—is getting buried under regulations, corporate-friendly guidelines, and penalty structures that'd make your wallet weep. Dissent used to spark revolutions. Now it sparks legal departments.
Wild how fast things shift. The continent that built its identity on challenging power now weaponizes bureaucracy against voices that challenge… well, anything deemed inappropriate by committee standards.
How'd we land here, exactly?

To put it bluntly, the current "freedom" is just the freedom as they define it. True dissent has long been locked in the cage of legal affairs. Isn't this completely contrary to the original intention of Web3?

So it really has fallen, huh? Where did that old "I'll say whatever I want" spirit go?
Freedom of speech has been locked away in a safe by the legal department, what a joke.
From radical to compliant, how fast was that turnaround?
Wallets weep, committees nod—this is modern European romance?
Revolution has turned into legal clauses, that's truly ironic.

Being strangled to death by regulations and fines is truly the height of irony.

So this is how freedom of speech dies—it's quite sad.

To put it simply, they've just been tamed. The rebellious spirit from before has now been scared off by legal letters from the legal department.
