Cryptocurrency analyst Chris Blec has called out MakerDAO for imposing a ban on VPN users that interact with its new lending service, Spark Protocol. Blec believes MakerDAO is taking away the right to privacy for users.

Users attempting to access Spark Protocol with a virtual private network will not be able to, sparking criticism from supporters of privacy.

The measure appears to be linked to Maker’s attempt to restrict United States users from accessing the crypto lending platform — discussed in Spark Protocol’s terms of service updated May 9 — which also warns against the use of VPNs to circumvent the block.
