Tại sao nhà sáng lập Ethereum Vitalik vẫn kiên trì ủng hộ các công cụ riêng tư — xem xét quyền lợi dữ liệu cá nhân trong mắt anh ấy

【Coin Circle】Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed his views supporting privacy protection workers. He believes that personal privacy rights should not be arbitrarily infringed upon, based on two core understandings: first, privacy itself has important value; second, he has long used privacy tools, including solutions created by relevant developers.

Vitalik pointed out that many people commonly accept the logic that governments, law enforcement agencies, and intelligence agencies possessing all citizens’ information can ensure safety. However, he strongly opposes this. He uses real data as evidence: government databases are frequently breached by hackers, and stolen information often falls into the hands of adversary nations. What does this precisely demonstrate? Centralized data storage does not bring security; instead, it becomes a greater source of risk.

He also shared personal practical experience. When purchasing software, he completes transactions through privacy solutions, and personal information is not recorded in corporate databases. Even if developers stop maintaining the application after many years, it can still operate stably. To him, this is the practical value of privacy tools — protecting the fundamental rights of each individual.
