Vitalik: The Ethereum Foundation will avoid close ties with political figures, or what is known as highly centralized organizations

ChainCatcher message, Vitalik posted on social media stating that the Ethereum Foundation (hereinafter referred to as EF) will avoid the following in the future:

• Executing some kind of ideological/atmospheric shift
• Actively lobbying regulators and powerful politicians (especially in the U.S., but actually anywhere, especially in major countries), risking the damage to Ethereum's status as a global neutral platform
• Becoming a battleground for vested interests
• Becoming a highly centralized organization, even more like the "protagonist" in Ethereum

Vitalik emphasized that these things are not what EF does, and that will not change. He welcomes those seeking different visions to create their own organizations.
