Yesterday, Tornado Cash judge stated code is not speech, non-custodial software providers can be money transmitters, and specific knowledge of criminal activity is not required to be charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering. A breakdown of all the arguments:

Yesterday, the tornado cash judge publicly declared he doesn't know any famous judicial precedence related to code and free speech.

So, every car part made with a CNC or CAD(code) is not a manifestation of free speech. Therefore every automobile manufacturer that makes a car that transports drugs or illegal human traffic or cash as a remuneration for such is also liable for said transport and a criminal act. IT’S RIDICULOUS ON IT’S FACE.

Será que escrever código (que o governo não goste) poderá ser crime no futuro?

We’re all criminals. There’s not enough prison space for all of us. They could try and round us all up. I expected a slower and different bitcoin revolution to save humanity but fuck it, this could work too. LFG!

Definitely. I wonder if it is not enough for the beginning that nostr serves as a coordination platform for self hosted forgejo services behind tor. I use forgejo myself and it works great.

What happens if you write comments in code is that still free speech? Or even if you view a website in HTML are the words written on a website not free speech unless the code is run through a browser?!?!?

Their solution to being obsoleted by technology: make the technology illegal. Laws are being reinterpreted to protect incumbant powers. It is a perversion that will not stand.
