Panelists at a BUIDL Asia summit argue racist meme coins can be handled with a filter.
as meme coins are, the category also has a problem with an explosion of tokens with names containing the N-word and other racist themes.
"Choice means the right for a wallet developer to institute a block list," Austin Federa, the Solana Foundation's head of communications, said during the panel."Almost every wallet in every ecosystem filters out spam NFTs and spam tokens. Users always have the ability to reveal something if they want to, but the core network needs to remain permissionless."
"No one expects Verizon to have a legal obligation to prevent a phishing email from landing in your inbox or to prevent you from accessing something that is potentially racist material," he said."Solana is all on the application level. It's wallets making decisions about the kind of content they want to show and display."
"In France, for instance, there are legal obligations for ISPs to block certain content," he said, giving the example of Holocaust denialism.
