Privasi tidak boleh dilanggar: Pendiri bersama Ethereum membahas pentingnya keamanan data pribadi

【Block Rhythm】Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his views on personal privacy on social media. He stated that he has consistently supported the development and use of privacy tools, not only because he believes privacy itself is important, but also because he has personally experienced the value of these tools.

In his view, there is a widespread misconception in current society: many people believe that personal privacy can be arbitrarily disclosed, but governments and law enforcement agencies need to possess information on all citizens to maintain order. Vitalik explicitly opposed this viewpoint. He pointed out that in reality, government databases are frequently hacked, and large amounts of sensitive information eventually flow to foreign hostile forces. This precisely demonstrates that centralized large-scale information storage itself carries enormous risks.

Vitalik also shared his personal experience using privacy tools. When purchasing software for personal use, his name would never be entered into any corporate database. What does this mean? It means users have true choice, controlling their own information. What’s more noteworthy is that even if development of these tools has stopped for years, they can still function normally — this reflects the resilience of decentralized applications.

This argument touches on a core concern that has long preoccupied the Web3 community: in the digital age, who should ultimately own personal data sovereignty.
