"Arrests of men and women have happened all over the country. The police say they have arrested people based on information extracted from seized phones, third-party allegations or raids on private premises. The changes to the penal code have had a chilling effect on lawyers, who said they were afraid to represent people for fear of being prosecuted themselves.." Makes me sad and angry. Human rights going backwards.

Still don't know how the @Liquid_BTC hack will end. Hope is with a fully restored network. I was asked why I used it although I knew of the federated custody risks. Here is my reasoning and why in this case the federated custody was not the issue:

Bug in the Liquid Network Lets Hackers Steal 4,000 Bitcoin - Update: Network Fully Restored

I used Liquid knowing the federation risk. When 4,000 bitcoin were stolen, a software bug was to blame, not the federated custody. Here is what I l...

I got a lot of heat for my rainbow flag on my profile, which has never meant that I wanted to "push something onto others", it's just opening a door for others to get interested in the things I find valuable like Bitcoin. Good explained by Marco: "Because a label, even though it puts you in a box that never quite fits, still works as a signaling device: it lets other people who hold ...similar... values ...or are similar... know that there are others like them in bitcoin."

What a stressful day! Good night, I hope to wake up to the news that @Liquid_btc holders will be made whole.

A win for privacy, freedom of expression and speech! The highest court of France has blocked a bill that banned social media access for those under the age of 15. The court believes protecting children was a legitimate objective; the bill nonetheless "infringes freedom of expression and communication in a manner that is not appropriate, necessary or proportionate" to it.

Two hours in a closed room, and France agreed that anonymity online was a price worth paying for a headline about protecting children.

Trezor customers data breached! There need to be more physical locations where one can buy hardware wallets for cash! Every centralized database will be hacked sooner or later. HW manufacturers need to make sure that the companies they share data with are deleting it immediately. I know 90 days data storage is a requirement for businesses. There need to be ways around. Also: have been telling everyone to not use real addresses! But it is inconvenient to search for alternatives.
