4.9 Regulation Vitalik Buterin为Tornado Cash开发者辩护，反对将隐私软件和代码开发定罪。案件引发了关于隐私权、开发者保护和加密监管界限的讨论。
以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin公开为Tornado Cash开发者Roman Storm辩护，此前Storm因在美国被判定参与洗钱阴谋罪。Buterin批评将注重隐私的软件开发定罪，认为起诉Storm等同于惩罚代码的创造，而非直接的金融危害。他强调像Tornado Cash这样的隐私工具在保护个人数据免受监控和系统性剥削方面的合法性与必要性，并提到自己也曾使用此类工具。该案件在加密社区引发了关于监管防止非法活动与开发者构建隐私保护技术权利之间平衡的讨论。Buterin及以太坊基金会已为Storm的法律辩护捐赠超600万美元。超过110家加密实体支持为软件开发者立法保护，凸显了隐私权及开源开发未来的广泛影响。
