Sony has faced backlash from the crypto community following the launch of its blockchain platform, Soneium. Critics have labeled the platform's restrictions as anti-decentralization, particularly due to its approach to intellectual property protection. Soneium aims to bridge the gap between web2 and web3 users by integrating Sony's NFT-based Fan Marketing Platform and Soneium Spark. The platform also leverages Sony's entertainment divisions to bring blockchain-based digital collectibles to fans. However, some in the crypto crowd accuse Soneium of rug-pulling investors with censorship features. The platform's policy of blacklisting addresses linked to IP violations or harmful actions has ignited debates over decentralization and fairness in the web3 space. Despite the backlash, Soneium's team has defended its policies, emphasizing a commitment to decentralization while safeguarding creators' rights. Critics argue that the censorship features can be bypassed through Ethereum's mainnet. The success and impact of Soneium in the web3 space are yet to be seen.
