Vitalik: Firmly believes in the importance of privacy and actively uses privacy tools

Foresight News reported that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his support for Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm in an open letter, stating, "I have supported Roman Storm's work from the very beginning, both because I firmly believe in the importance of privacy and because I actively use privacy tools, including those he developed. Many people take it for granted that personal privacy can be infringed upon by the public, but that governments, police, and intelligence agencies should have access to everyone's information to ensure security. I strongly disagree with this view. In reality, government databases are frequently hacked, and information often falls into the hands of hostile foreign powers. I have personally used his software to conduct transactions, and when purchasing software for personal use, my name was not recorded in any corporate database. His application continues to function properly even years after development has ceased."
