In which country do you leave/what citizenship do you have? You can answer to yourself. Not me publicly.
Try to apply your recommendations with citizenship of authoritarian regimes and write something at social media to ignore the order of regime. Then we can continue our exchange of the opinions.
I'm not seeing how you would prevent such a regime from over regulating or banning anything then. You have nothing to gain by making requests of authoritarian regimes to respect your freedom. Taking it (which was my point) is your only option. That's why we call them authoritarian. There is no asking or compromise. They do what they want.
Im not questioning your professionalism just because I don’t know how to do coding/programming. 😉 I look at proof of work: what people are doing and achieving accordingly after saying something.
As Open Dialogue Foundation we defended and helped to release hundreds of political prisoners in authoritarian states: both key politicians, journalists, activists, independent judges, lawyers, entrepreneurs, their family members taken as hostages by regimes and just people who were repressed for likes/shares of political posts in social media. We protected thousands of peaceful protestors in different countries and we expose massive financial exclusion as a repressive tool against millions.
Actually because my work is very effective three regimes announced/classified me as a threat to national security to their powers back in 2018. https://www.ft.com/content/1d341a96-b80b-11e8-bbc3-ccd7de085ffe
They tried to paralyze and even kill me and my colleagues, luckily I was protected by Belgian, #Swiss , #French, #UK and #German governments.
At the same time regimes unfortunately succeed to weaponize my banking data in #Belgium even with all political protections I got at that time.
It was possible due to the abuse of AML/CFT laws. It cost unfortunately life, imprisonment to both my organization’s donors and recipients of the funds in authoritarian states. And I spent years to release those who became victims of the weaponization of my banking data in Belgium and Poland and in parallel started to educate #EU and #US regulators about those abuses to change the regulations.
So how I not only survived being completely deprived the right to have banking accounts in the very heart of the EU, but helping other victims of financial exclusion, provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine for over 8 mln euro? Answer is very simple-with #bitcoin.
That is why I defend bitcoin as a human right technology in democracies. And we succeeded in doing so at some aspects: thanks to the support of nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1hyqrsvl6hle8r5rc9cpshesm0mpcee75tgde4p5lhke5h83dyqqqdwk7cp nostr:npub1kp7jzme0qs3wcqjjmkq6v5fm359sclhc22glhadgtmerlr0h37nsn8487l we convinced regulators to change AML regulation in the EU protecting banking data, the right for banking and recognition that #bitcoin as crypto-asset is a payment & fundraising instrument, we defended the legitimacy of use the self-hosted wallets.
But now the US is pushing back against such liberalization in the EU and attacking privacy tools, p2p transactions via recommendations of FATF/G7. So we came to DC too to defend our the only financial freedom tool and met with US State Department, US #FATF, #Senate and other regulatory bodies.

Enough people have to either fight back, escape, or deal with not being free. Sorry, but compromising and allowing regulation will only result in creep toward more regulations. Abusers never stop unless you have a zero tolerance policy. Besides, what is and isn't overregulation is subjective, which is why the creep always happens. Zero is objective.
