The War on Privacy: A Call to Action!
Did you know that there's a war on privacy? The proposed FinCEN rule is trying to treat mixing (a standard privacy practice) as suspicious by default! This is government overreach, and we need
to fight back!
Samourai was leading the charge in this fight, but now they're facing allegations that point to specific actions like welcoming and encouraging illicit actors to use their service. Don't just
take my word for it - read the DOJ materials (PDF) yourself!
It's not about the tech being too complex for the government to understand; it's about building a privacy-friendly solution that doesn't enable money laundering, even non-custodially.
We need to approach this war with maturity by:
Building decentralized privacy tech
Avoiding marketing services to criminals
Let's make privacy the default and take back control!
