Vitalik: No-backdoor privacy messaging tools have been widely accepted, and the United States should set an example by supporting developers.

Odaily News Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform that the trial of Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm will take place in 10 days. Nowadays, backdoor-free privacy messaging tools have been widely accepted, with many businesses and government departments frequently using tools like Signal. The hacker attacks targeting centralized databases seen today are extremely frequent, and improving privacy in other areas (including payments, identification, and artificial intelligence) is no longer a matter of needing to “balance” with security, but has become a necessary component of security. It is hoped that the United States can set an example in building a safer, freer world with less data leakage, but the first step is to send a clear signal to developers indicating that this important work is welcome.
