Odaily Planet Daily reported that Vitalik Buterin said on social media, “I saw zero non-Westerners defending the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, but there were quite a few Westerners. I definitely don’t want to say they don’t exist (after all, my timeline is as biased as anyone’s), it’s just that this is my sample so far. In my opinion, this is another example of the decoupling of liberalism and Westernism that Macaes Bruno often talks about.”
