Vitalik advocates for the zk anonymous voting mechanism to solve social problems, saying that governance actions should protect decision makers from violent threats.

CoinFeed reported on October 7 that Vitalik Buterin wrote in response to the "arson attack on a judge's house" incident, "I have a more radical belief that more governance actions should be anonymous/secret voting (for example, I have previously advocated for secret voting in the United Nations General Assembly) to protect decision makers from external pressure and threats of violence."
