Just when you thought US courts couldn't be any more retarded, a New York Judge just dismissed the defamation suit against Chainalysis because he says the software enjoys free speech protections.

So let me get this right, Chainalysis's (who work with the government) code is free speech but Tornado Cash's isn't? Got it

Does that set precedence in favor of software?

No it sets precedent in favor of quasi gov actors/colludors

Only software the government wants to protect.

Unbelievable!

Rules for thee...

Any legal ppl think tornado or this case go to supreme court?

Dude this is just to be as insulting as possible in a clearly rigged court, imo. Are you fucking serious?

If only they were consistent with the application of those principles.

My algorithm flags this as insane...

😒

software can't speak, so retarded

Arbitrary legal protection of their code is mere “Castling” on a judicial chessboard.

Yet, ₿itcoin’s lack of centralized authority allows every piece including its pawns to become Kings and Queens at will.

The realities of “lawfare” should be no more confounding than “warfare”.
