【Crypto World】Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed his views, showing support for privacy advocates. He believes that personal privacy rights should not be arbitrarily violated, based on two core understandings: first, that privacy itself has significant value; second, that he personally has long used privacy tools, including solutions created by related developers.
Vitalik pointed out that many people generally accept the logic that—government, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies need to have all citizen information to ensure security. But he strongly opposes this view. He supports his argument with real data: government databases are frequently hacked, and the stolen information often falls into the hands of rival nations. What does this precisely indicate? Centralized data storage does not bring security; instead, it creates greater risks.
He also shared personal practical experience. When purchasing software, transactions are completed through privacy solutions, so personal information is not stored in corporate databases.
