Vitalik Supports Roman Storm: Hopes the US Will Lead the Way in Making a Safer, Less Data-Leaky World a Reality

BlockBeats News, July 5th, Ethereum founder Vitalik posted an article stating, "Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm's interview (which we greatly relied on in the 2019 FinCEN guidance clearly stated that service providers of anonymization software are not subject to Money Transmitter Business License regulation. This leads us to believe that what we are developing should not put us in a high-risk position) is very good. His trial will begin in 10 days."

Today, the message of backdoor-free privacy has been widely accepted, and many business and government officials are also regularly using tools like Signal. Considering that we now frequently see centralized databases being breached, enhancing privacy protection in areas such as payments, identity, artificial intelligence, and others should not be seen as a need to "balance" between privacy and security—it is an integral part of security itself.

I hope the United States can take the lead in making a world that is more secure, more free, and less prone to data breaches a reality. And the first step taken is to send a clear signal to developers: this important work is welcomed."
