Here's Why Ethereum's Buterin Is Getting 'Canceled'

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has joked about getting "canceled" on social media after speaking out about the importance of cleaning up indoor air."Me, early 2024: hmm I haven't been canceled for a while, maybe I should say something spicy and do another round… Me, Jul 2024: canceled for... trying not to get airborne diseases," Buterin added. On Saturday, the Canadian programmer attached a photo of himself wearing a face mask on a plane next to an air quality monitor that shows elevated levels of CO2.
He has clarified that modern planes typically have relatively clear air due to ventilation and filtration, but those mechanisms typically tend to be turned off when the plane is on the ground. Buterin is concerned about a lot of various viruses that can potentially contaminate the air. "It's not the CO2 itself that's the (main) problem, rather it's a proxy way to measure that ∼7% the air I would be inhaling is air that has been breathed out by other people. 3000+ ppm means *lots* of various viruses," Buterin added in a post on the X social media network.
