Buterin warns that X’s new location feature poses privacy risks for cryptocurrency users

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has warned against X’s new feature that reveals account holders’ locations, labeling it a risk to privacy. He acknowledges potential benefits but highlights the dangers of unconsented location sharing.

Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, echoed Buterin’s sentiments, criticizing the feature as mandatory doxing. While some defend it for political transparency, privacy advocates call for user-controlled visibility settings.
