Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has raised concerns about the effects of the legislation on digital privacy and software freedom in Europe. Buterin explains that if Durov is prosecuted for failing to moderate content or for not sharing user data, it may pose great risks to digital rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I&#39;ve criticized Telegram before for not being serious with encryption.<\/p>\n<p>But (given the info available so far: the charge seems to be just being &quot;unmoderated&quot; and not giving up people&#39;s data), this looks very bad and worrying for the future of software and comms freedom in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VitalikButerin\/status\/1827602680388239582?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 25, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buterin stressed the need to rely on open-source solutions and strong security measures for users\u2019 privacy and against potential abuse by governments.
