In Coindesk, Benjamin Powers explores if public opinion is shifting on privacy in the wake of COVID-19. Enigma's Tor Bair is quoted:

“If big tech firms commit to defending the privacy and security of their users by default, then users will expect privacy as a universal value,” said Bair. “Anyone who then takes advantage of that trust will be punished by users, not to mention regulators. In this world, privacy technologies become an essential core of any product.”
