A question for nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs and those that are shitting on the EU.
*Note: I am addressing a larger issue and not only talking about the EU's note to X*
Why is it that rather than addressing the concerns of law enforcement authorities are we more inclined to mock them for their actions. Maintaining the rule of law is not a frivolous issue. Their concerns are valid and we must recognize them as such. With the events currently occuring in the UK, no one in their right mind would be an absolute free speech zealot.
How would you respond to a situation where you are a victim of a crime committed by those using the same ultra-private anonymous tools that all of us parade about. The helplessness of law enforcement in cracking down on drug enforcement and human trafiking rings using private anonymous tooling is a valid concern that we must try to solve as a community.
Nobody benefits from the skepticism that law enforcement has for technologies such as #monero
How about we rise to the occasion and help the government get their concerns heard while protecting our interests ?
"The helplessness of law enforcement in cracking down on drug
enforcement ... using private anonymous tooling is
a valid concern that we must try to solve as a community."
Speak for yourself.
There's nothing wrong with two parties that want to transaction VOLUNTARILY, doing so., IN PRIVATE.
You are falling into the same trap that most zealots fall into. The trap of stupid idealism. It is obvious that all transactions cannot be validated purely on the grounds of being 'voluntary'. We have to eventually shut down our computer screens and live in the real world. I am sure you would not go as far as to condone money laundering and terror financing as merely a 'voluntary transaction' between two private individuals.
