Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin donated 128 ETH (roughly $380,000 each) to Session and SimpleX Chat, encrypted messaging apps that prioritize permissionless accounts and metadata privacy. These platforms skip phone numbers and central servers to fight surveillance, like the EU’s Chat Control push. Buterin’s support spotlights the need for decentralized tools that truly protect user data in a privacy-threatened world.
