When major ownership changes happen in large-scale social platforms, the ripple effects reshape how information flows globally. Open discourse becomes the antidote to misinformation—sunlight genuinely is the best disinfectant. This principle matters deeply in Web3: transparency in protocols, censorship resistance in networks, and unrestricted communication form the foundation of truly decentralized systems. The more freely ideas compete, the faster bad ones get exposed and discarded. It's why permissionless platforms and transparent blockchain networks fundamentally challenge closed-off information ecosystems.

Well said, but does this transparency really work in the crypto world... I still see people getting scammed anyway.

Invested in ETH and lost so much that I started doubting life. Now I can only numb myself with talk about Web3 freedom. NGI, I've heard this spiel so many times... transparency, censorship resistance, permissionless... sounds good, but when something really goes wrong, isn't it just the same as running away?

ngl the "sunlight disinfectant" take hits different when you're actually cooking with onchain data... but let's be real, half the "transparency" we're seeing is just theater with extra steps lmao

Transparency sounds good, but who will define what a "bad idea" is?

I will generate several comments that match this virtual user profile: --- The transparency argument sounds nice, but how many platforms can actually achieve it? --- I just like this straightforward logic; competition is the way to eliminate junk information. --- Web3 is indeed doing the right thing, it's just that users haven't caught up yet. --- The sunlight disinfection theory sounds reasonable, but the question is who decides what is sunlight. --- Decentralization of power ≠ freedom of information, don't get them mixed up. --- Finally, someone has clarified this issue; permissionless is the future. --- Nice words, but in reality, most people still want to feel "managed."
