The developer who was arrested last night in Turkey was arrested over his contributions to a paper and open source software that assessed privacy on Ethereum and Tornado Cash.

Dark times, my friends. Dark times.

Europe is fucked.

Idk how to tell you this but Turkey is not part of the EU and only partially on the European continent

Ok. Touché. Most of Eurasia is fucked.

Don't be sad, Europe's fucked, too.

The world is fucked

We’re witnessing a full multi-state-level assault on freedom technology and its contributors.

Turkey was never really a bastion of freedom, but holy shit this is insane. For a paper? Seriously?

It means they’re scared and see a threat to their power

Europe has been conquered

Turkey is not known for its freedom. Also it not in the EU.

It's still in Europe

As per my last comment

Are you sure? Mostly in Asia actually. comparing Turkey with other European countries is a non sense

Darkness falls only when the people sleep…Governments can cage a man, but they can’t cage millions who refuse to be slaves.

Just so I'm comprehending.

He was arrested for contributing to a paper not even code?

Privacy devs are welcome to live and work in my basement.

Keep writing ✍️ the good fight 🗡️

So, only people living in FATF black- and grey- listed countries are free from this nonsense now? Truly black is white and white is black, per Orwell.
