Privacy is a fundamental human right. In a transparent blockchain world, privacy tools can protect ordinary users from unnecessary surveillance and censorship while not affecting legitimate operations at all.



Technology itself has no moral attributes—a knife can be used to prepare food or to harm people, but we do not ban all knives because of their dual nature. The same logic applies to privacy technology.

Instead of banning related code outright, it is better to foster open dialogue and transparent discussions to make privacy tools safer and more compliant. This is the correct approach to promote the healthy development of the crypto ecosystem. Everyone should be responsible when using these tools and also protect their rights. This is not a black-and-white issue but about finding a balance between innovation and security.

The knife argument is back again, always using this analogy... But to be fair, privacy rights should indeed be protected, I'm just worried some people might misuse it.

ngl this knife analogy hits different when you think about farm-to-fork verification... like, privacy tools are basically the salt & pepper of web3, you need them to season things right but ppl always wanna ban the whole spice rack smh

Well said, privacy is privacy. Why does it become a sensitive topic when it comes to crypto?

The knife debate is back, but the key question is who will define what "legitimate operation" means...
