BlockBeats News, January 9th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted a message stating, "From the beginning, I have supported Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm's work, both because I believe in the importance of privacy and because I actively use privacy tools, including those he has developed. Many people default to the assumption that personal privacy can be invaded by the public, and that governments, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies should have access to everyone's information to ensure security. I strongly oppose 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 complete transactions, and when purchasing software for personal use, my name will not be recorded in the company's database. His applications can still run smoothly even years after development has ceased."
