Google has recently integrated Ethereum Name Service (ENS) into its search system, allowing users to attach ENS to public key addresses and display the base value of Ether held. This integration enables ENS lookup directly through Google, sparking discussions about privacy and the public nature of blockchains. Critics argue that showing wallet balances is an invasion of privacy, while supporters point out that blockchain transactions and ENS addresses have always been public. The debate highlights the fundamental issue that Ethereum, like many blockchains, is public by default.
Google search results now show $ENS data pulled from Etherscan 🔍 ⬇️Full story here⬇️ https://t.co/d3kQ54791S https://t.co/pJLjD1QFIL
Rare @fluffypony L. His take isn't entirely wrong but quite hypocritical seeing as his emoji-based name service "https://t.co/CXFXEUnO7V" also let's you link ETH addresses: The problem isn't ENS, but more fundamentally that Ethereum is public by default. https://t.co/nXP2QTrQzJ https://t.co/AUsdZWGqvs
people outraged that blockchains are public ledgers and that ENS addresses voluntarily tied to them can now be searched for on Google instead of just on Etherscan
