Just noticed the updated terms of service on X - and it's pretty concerning. Essentially, they're reserving the right to terminate any account at their discretion without specific grounds. For a platform that's become central to Web3 discourse and crypto announcements, this kind of centralized control over user access raises serious questions. It's a stark reminder why decentralized social protocols matter. When your account can vanish on a whim, you're really just renting your audience, not owning your presence.

*sigh* empirically speaking, this is exactly the governance failure case study i've been documenting. they literally have zero accountability mechanisms—no appeals process, no token-weighted voting on moderation decisions. it's decentralization theater masquerading as a platform. the data suggests centralized gatekeepers always end up here eventually.

Uh... X's approach is way too obvious. To put it simply, they just want to ban your account at any time. Why are we still trusting centralized platforms?

I should have known earlier, this trick with X is no different from traditional internet. Where's the promised decentralization... It's really time to move everything onto the chain.
