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:

Unless you're JP Morgan.

Woah wtf

Thankfully we have the real judges at the appellate stage…sometimes.

Thank you for your reporting.

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.

Insanity

Fuck “Rule of Law” as imposed by governments, government minions, mafia enforcers, and parasitic psychopaths.

excited to be in the gulag with all my friends, tbh

Já estão tratando como crime atualmente.

Okay let’s overthrow the government for laundering money

This is like playing cops and robbers against someone who pulls "invisible armor" out of their ass

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!

This is bad. 😥

Time for Github on Nostr

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?!?!?

Totalitarianism incoming

What a dangerous precedent Judge Failla seems intent on setting. Trying not to swallow the black pill on the Tornado Cash case yet but I don't have high hopes that a jury will appreciate the nuance of this case.

The censorship machine seems set to win big on this one.

Blind Judges can't see their whole life is ruled by Code
