Vitalik Buterin comments on Ethereum's role in addressing surveillance, wars, and social media issues

Vitalik Buterin stated that the world increasingly faces government and corporate surveillance, wars, and worsening social media, while Ethereum has played only a limited role in improving real freedom, privacy, and digital security. He emphasized that Ethereum should not be limited to finance but should become part of a broader 'refuge technologies' ecosystem using open-source tools to create resilient digital spaces.
