A September 2022 policy panel hosted by the Center for Data Innovation places him beside FLI's Anthony Aguirre, DeepMind's Alexandra Belias, Hugging Face's Irene Solaiman, and Kai Zenner, then head of office and digital policy adviser to MEP Axel Voss. It is a concrete earlier point of contact with the FLI and European policy worlds. It establishes coappearance, not an alliance or payment. [M01]

Cointelegraph's March13 report, updatedMarch16 with FLI comment, describes Buterin's criticism of a turn toward political/cultural action and his concern about authoritarian, fragile outcomes. Aguirre emphasized shared aims and continuing technical work. The original X post was not readable through the web tool; the criticism is retained as attributed reporting, not direct-source access. https://cointelegraph.com/news/vitalik-buterin-future-of-life-institute-shib-donation

ITIF publicly opposed the Sanders–Casar prohibition, emphasizing innovation and competition. Gary Marcus also opposed its breadth while arguing for regulation; he favored an alternative formulation by Anthony Aguirre.

The record contains disagreement among regulators’ advocates and conflict between lawmakers and companies. Treating all of them as one camp would erase useful evidence.
