Vitalik supports Roman Storm: hoping the U.S. will take the lead in making a safer world with less data leakage a reality.

BlockBeats news, on July 5, Ethereum founder Vitalik stated, “An interview with Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm (which we heavily rely on, the 2019 FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) guidance clearly states that service providers offering anonymization software are not within the regulatory scope of money transmission licenses.

Today, backdoor-free message privacy has been widely accepted, and many business and government officials are frequently using tools like Signal. Given the frequent invasions of centralized databases we see today, enhancing privacy protection in payments, identification, artificial intelligence, and other areas should not be seen as a relationship that needs to be “balanced” with security — it is itself an important component of security. I hope the United States can take the lead in making a world that is safer, freer, and has less data leakage a reality. The first step is to send a clear signal to developers: this important work is welcome.”
