Coinbase 因限制通过 VPN 访问平台的账户而面临批评

昨天，EthHub 联合创始人埃里克·康纳 (Eric Conner) 抱怨称，在他尝试用 USDC 发送 25,000 美元后，Coinbase 锁定了他的账户。

Coinbase is facing criticism on social media after it was discovered that the US-based exchange is restricting the accounts of users who access the platform via a virtual private network (VPN).

Coinbase 在发现这家美国交易所限制通过虚拟专用网络 (VPN) 访问该平台的用户账户后，在社交媒体上面临批评。

Yesterday, EthHub co-founder Eric Conner complained that Coinbase locked his account after he tried to send $25,000 in USDC. When Conner said it was apparent that his use of a VPN was behind the restriction, many users began to complain about the same VPN-related issues with Coinbase.

昨天，EthHub 联合创始人埃里克·康纳 (Eric Conner) 抱怨称，在他尝试用 USDC 发送 25,000 美元后，Coinbase 锁定了他的账户。当 Conner 表示很明显他使用 VPN 是造成限制的原因时，许多用户开始抱怨 Coinbase 也存在同样的 VPN 相关问题。

Today, Coinbase product designer Scott Shapiro said, “PSA: Don’t use a VPN to access Coinbase.”

今天，Coinbase 产品设计师 Scott Shapiro 表示，“PSA：不要使用 VPN 访问 Coinbase。”

“Attackers always use VPNs, so our risk models take that as a negative sign even if you’re legitimately using your own account,” he added.

“攻击者总是使用 VPN，因此即使您合法使用自己的帐户，我们的风险模型也会将其视为负面信号，”他补充道。

However, users on X did not react well to the exchange's stance on VPNs. “It's our privacy right to use VPNs,” one user said. “If you're telling us to not use a VPN to access Coinbase, then the choice is to just not use Coinbase.”

然而，X 上的用户对该交易所关于 VPN 的立场反应不佳。 “使用 VPN 是我们的隐私权，”一位用户说道。 “如果你告诉我们不要使用 VPN 访问 Coinbase，那么我们的选择就是不使用 Coinbase。”

Another posted, “This just shows your incompetence. Users should not have to disable their VPN to use your exchange. Period.” Kraken’s chief security officer said, “You are making some of your users choose between financial freedom and physical safety.”

另一位网友则表示：“这只能说明你的无能。用户不必禁用其 VPN 即可使用您的交换机。时期。” Kraken 的首席安全官表示，“你正在让一些用户在财务自由和人身安全之间做出选择。”

Debanking dominated conversation on X this week with some comparing it to Coinbase’s VPN stance. The company's CEO Brian Armstrong offered his thoughts on the subject last Sunday, claiming that “anti-money laundering regulations are a policy failure” that costs around $213 billion annually and hurts consumers.

本周 X 上的讨论主要是去银行化，一些人将其与 Coinbase 的 VPN 立场进行了比较。该公司首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 上周日表达了他对这个问题的看法，声称“反洗钱法规是政策失败”，每年造成约 2130 亿美元的损失，并损害了消费者的利益。

After his account was frozen, Conner posted, “Wasn’t @brian_armstrong just talking about debanking???”

在他的账户被冻结后，康纳发帖称，“@brian_armstrong 不是只是在谈论银行业务消失吗？？？”

Conner's account was eventually unfrozen, and he thanked his followers for their support. However, he also used the opportunity to highlight the plight of others who may not be as fortunate.

康纳的账户最终被解冻，他感谢粉丝的支持。然而，他也利用这个机会强调了其他可能没有那么幸运的人的困境。

“I'm lucky with my reach. Others, not so much…” he posted.

“我很幸运我的影响力。其他人则没有那么多……”他发帖说。
