Sony's Layer 2 project Soneum sparked community controversy by blacklisting some Meme coins.

BlockBeats News, January 14th, according to The Block, Sony's Layer2 project Soneium sparked controversy on mainnet launch day by blacklisting some meme coins suspected of infringing intellectual property. This led to some tokens being restricted from trading and unable to receive support on the official block explorer.

This move has sparked strong dissatisfaction among some users, who expressed disappointment in multiple posts on Platform X that they suddenly could not trade or access these meme coins on the Soneium network. The blacklist specifically targeted tokens that imitate or use brands that Sony or Soneium consider protected. Therefore, it is reported that transactions of these meme coins have been suspended and cannot be transferred. Users attempting to access these tokens will receive a "Prohibited Access" warning on the block explorer.
