MetaMask to Collect User IP Addresses, Edward Snowden Calls It a “Crime”

Consensys, the New York-based blockchain software company and developer of MetaMask, the most popular Ethereum wallet, revised its privacy statement on November 23 to alert MetaMask’s more than 20 million users that when they transact while utilizing Infura as their default Remote Procedure Call (RPC) provider, their IP addresses and Ethereum wallet addresses will be collected and recorded.

Edward Snowden took to Twitter, to show his disappointment with the team at Metamask as he thinks the ploy to record personal details under the tag of “decentralization” is near to committing a crime.
