Yesterday, Tornado Cash judge stated code is not speech, non-custodial software providers can be money transmitters, and specific knowledge of criminal activity is not required to be charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.
A breakdown of all the arguments:

Um... humiliation ritual afoot? Code is speech, morons! You're under mind control if you think it's not (Read Bitcoin's Protections Under the First Amendment if you don't believe it).
It's the weakest argument the judge made, and probably the last one you should be worried about.
trying to argue your case to the governmrnt is kinda like voting. it gives you illusion of control and prevents you from seeing reql solutions
That's a really smart comment because they totally chose to be charged by the DOJ
Yesterday, the tornado cash judge publicly declared he doesn't know any famous judicial precedence related to code and free speech.

Thankfully we have the real judges at the appellate stage…sometimes.
Thank you for your reporting.
So, every car part made with a CNC or CAD(code) is not a manifestation of free speech. Therefore every automobile manufacturer that makes a car that transports drugs or illegal human traffic or cash as a remuneration for such is also liable for said transport and a criminal act.
IT’S RIDICULOUS ON IT’S FACE.
Fuck “Rule of Law” as imposed by governments, government minions, mafia enforcers, and parasitic psychopaths.
excited to be in the gulag with all my friends, tbh
Será que escrever código (que o governo não goste) poderá ser crime no futuro?

Já estão tratando como crime atualmente.
Okay let’s overthrow the government for laundering money
We’re all criminals.
There’s not enough prison space for all of us.
They could try and round us all up.
I expected a slower and different bitcoin revolution to save humanity but fuck it, this could work too. LFG!
Freedom tech devs need some courage to do their work these days. Stay strong! 💪
Time for Github on Nostr
Definitely. I wonder if it is not enough for the beginning that nostr serves as a coordination platform for self hosted forgejo services behind tor. I use forgejo myself and it works great.
What happens if you write comments in code is that still free speech? Or even if you view a website in HTML are the words written on a website not free speech unless the code is run through a browser?!?!?
Ich fürchte solche Urteile werden zukünftig häufiger auf uns zu kommen, nicht nur in den USA.

A clowns world where freedom of speech is redefined to nothing.

Their solution to being obsoleted by technology: make the technology illegal.
Laws are being reinterpreted to protect incumbant powers. It is a perversion that will not stand.
