On Sunday a debate on whether privacy is dead broke out on X. gakonst said the main thing he thinks about is how dead privacy is from here on; Vitalik replied that "it's only dead if you give up", saying he is not giving up on privacy but doubling down; pcaversaccio argued privacy is not dead, we have just built the wrong defaults, and privacy must be part of the runtime rather than something users configure.
