It is almost like an algorimic process at this point for lawmakers/authorities: start by blaming producers for their consumers actions and then seeing how much precedent can be set for other shit. Thing is they don't even have laws yet for some of the capabilities of these technologies...smh.
🔥 Yet another embarrassment for the DOJ in the Tornado Cash case exposed by nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnxd46zuamf0ghxy6t69uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd46hg6tw09mkzmrvv46zucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcqyrv2dm8scwtw428hnfzf0l5mwlwfwa3ng50nefwxxn3qsev3zej8kss3ljd
The logic here? Utterly dystopian. Imagine holding toolmakers responsible for every misuse of their tools. By this standard, Ford is liable for getaway cars, and Apple for hacked Macs.
Let’s not forget: Tornado Cash implemented sanctions oracles to block OFAC-listed entities. But no, the Government waves this off as "window dressing," while insisting the sole purpose of #TornadoCash was criminality—even though their own data shows only 14% illicit usage.
And now, the developers? Being charged for creating an interface. It’s #FATF recommendation 66 on steroids, with zero regard for #FinCEN guidance or actual adoption.
This isn’t law enforcement—it’s a desperate attempt to criminalize open-source innovation. 🚨 A warning shot to every dev in #crypto: your code isn’t safe from centralized overreach.
If these actions stand, the consequences for privacy, technology, and innovation will be catastrophic. This isn’t just about Tornado Cash—it’s about the future of freedom in a digital age.
