ChainCatcher news, Vitalik commented on the incident where Soneium blacklisted some Meme coins on its social platform, stating that Soneium's situation vividly demonstrates the benefits of launching Ethereum L2 for businesses and users. Businesses can make very detailed choices about how much control to retain and give to users. But whatever rules they choose, those are the rules. Everything is on-chain, transparent, and can be audited by third parties.Developers can also create a system that lets users know they can send transactions on L2 when needed, but there is a significant barrier - the sequencer can restrict but not censor.
