this administration, and prolly the next, seem to hold code creators to a diff standard, unfortunately. seems to be that this admin has some Wyrmtongues pushing that agenda while king theodan withers away at the throne. i also dont think juries have the ability to see the nuance in cyber law compared to other easy to relate to real world examples, unfortunately.

Privacy is the norm. KYC is abnormal. They are trying to make the normal seem abnormal and the abnormal normal. My guess is that who ever builds the right privacy preserving online tool for Bitcoin is going to have to pull a Satoshi...build, launch, fuck off into the ether...if there's a target it'll be hit. They'd have to let go of all ego and claim, for their own sake.

The world has literally gone crazy. How is that different than saying "Car manufacturers can be held responsible for criminal activity when criminals use their cars to commit crimes and cannot be stopped or identified" "Book publishers can be held responsible for criminal activity when criminals use information from their books to commit crimes and cannot be stopped or identified." "Camera manufacturers can be held responsible for criminal activity when criminals use their cameras to surveil and plan illegal activities and cannot be stopped or identified."

Agencies will not hunt down devs of projects that don't give true anonymity or that can be deanonymized giving their users only the illusion of anonymity. They probably already have ways to deanonymize Tor and Bitcoin users. So no need to hunt those devs down.

“If law enforcement can’t track their targets because of your tools, you become the target” Ridiculous. It’s holding car makers liable for car crashes levels of irresponsibly stupid.

You know … The Federal Reserve and the US Federal Government ought to be found guilty of money forgery and aiding and abetting of forgery. This is only possible in a convention of states, however. The system is fundamentally flawed such that forgery is a necessary part of it.

what happens when he gets out of jail in 64 months, do they put them back in jail due to tornado cash having run and operated for the tenure of his prison sentence? is each subsequent use of the creation by a person on earth a new crime? are you just a criminal in perpetuity for creating software, publishing it, and then a future person uses that software in a way that a govt doesnt like?
