Popular Ethereum Wallet Addresses Major Controversy

It says that the update announced by the leading Ethereum-focused software company doesn’t actually result in more intrusive data collection.  Furthermore, the company stressed that it wasn’t the result of regulatory changes or inquiries. 

This comes after MetaMask attracted major backlash earlier today for allegedly starting to track its users’ IP addresses.

This data doesn’t get tracked by ConsenSys if users opt for an alternative RPC provider such as Alchemy. MetaMask has noted that it’s not a new policy.
