Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has raised concerns about the emergence of a "corposlop web," urging the use of cryptography and privacy tools to safeguard user autonomy and attention. Buterin's comments come in response to market commentator Tom Kruise's predictions of a fragmented internet and declining globalism, emphasizing the need for digital sovereignty. Buterin highlighted the risks of corporate-driven internet models that prioritize profit and data collection over user empowerment. He advocates for privacy-focused tools as a means to protect personal data and maintain user sovereignty. Aztec founder Zachary Williamson echoed these sentiments, criticizing ad-driven incentives for eroding human agency and promoting zero-knowledge systems as a solution to enhance user control and privacy.
