"Open-source devs building non-custodial tools can be held responsible for criminal activity when crim. actors cannot be stopped or deanonymized"
Discussion
Are we going to hold knife manufacturers responsible for stabbing victims?
They've been trying to demonize gun companies for decades...
Well then obviously The Fucking State is in cahoots with Big Road since nearly every damn robbery allows the thieves to escape on infrastructure built with public money.
Logic isn't with these people, and tonrub it in even fucking further, endless amounts of OUR money pays these folks to further ensure that we have no other OPTIONS.
How many were convicted to be sentenced to prison?
There are videos online, they laser the code into the knife when someone buys it.
welcome to china 
That is wild.
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.
The knife worked exactly as intended.
"Where will they go next? Hunt down #Bitcoin core devs? Jail nostr:npub1y8av7a5337erepxphjf50c9p4w5ghu6zu56fjqklpw0n06d7wvgqwh5cy0 developers?" 
The American way, regulate it out if existence
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.
When innovation is criminalized, only criminals will innovate?
Trouble is, everything's outlawed enough that everyone is committing crimes, and the crooked cops in charge selectively enforce the unjust laws simply to suit their current whims.
The world needs to clean house and starve the beasts.
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?
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."
Gov should be help responsible for criminal activity when fiat money is involved
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.
imagine tcp/ip devs are now responsible for ALL online crimes🤣
Good. There was no crime before this bloody internet thing.
I think the unspoken idea here is that privacy itself is seen as a crime. Cars have legitimate uses, but in their minds you have no right to evade financial surveillance.
They are wrong though, because that's 4th amendment unreasonable search and seizure. They are violating the law of the land. They are illegitimate.
Never seen cars being distributed free though :-) or Cameras or even physical books - soft books yes but you cant throw them on anyone to cause a hurt :-) Free porn was always under eyes and is in many jurisdictions - but it got lax now for there are bigger issues of money ..
Please don't tempt the courts and lawmakers to take stances like these, they just might do it, unironically.

Let’s be clear: “move to El Salvador”
now all software has to be published anonymously just to bypass this
Does this argument criminalize FOSS end to end encryption?
Esto y más pasa en los paĂses tercermundistas por eso están como están.
Pero EEUU ? Es enserio?
“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.
