Buterin says X’s new location feature ‘risky’ as crypto users flag privacy concerns
  • Vitalik Buterin has raised concerns regarding X's new feature that discloses the country of an account's origin, labeling it as 'risky' due to potential privacy violations. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has echoed these concerns, describing the feature as a form of 'mandatory doxing.'
  • This development is significant as it highlights the ongoing tension between user privacy and platform transparency in the cryptocurrency space, potentially affecting user trust and engagement on X.
  • The introduction of such features raises broader questions about privacy in digital platforms, especially as the cryptocurrency sector continues to evolve, with companies like Coinbase exploring new market opportunities while navigating similar privacy concerns.
