Odaily Planet Daily Report: Vitalik Buterin posted on social media analyzing the differences between “corposlop web” (corporate garbage content network) and “sovereign network”. He defined “corposlop” as a combination of corporate optimization capabilities, seemingly decent brand image, and undignified behavior adopted to maximize profits. Vitalik Buterin stated that “corposlop” is soulless, trend-following, homogeneous products that are both evil and clumsy.
He pointed out that the meaning of “sovereignty” has expanded today, not only referring to avoiding government coercion, but also meaning protecting digital privacy through cryptographic technology, and protecting one’s thoughts from the influence of corporate psychological warfare aimed at extracting user attention and money.
He called on developers to build more sovereign tools, such as: privacy-protecting local-first applications, user-controlled social media platforms, financial tools that do not encourage 50x leverage or sports betting, open-friendly AI tools, and DAOs pursuing unique objectives. He concluded: “Maintain sovereignty, reject corposlop, Believe in somETHing.”
