Privacy is a human right.

We believe consumer privacy can be protected while also deterring illicit activity.

In light of recent OFAC actions, we will be releasing an official statement next week explaining our approach to programmable privacy.

Privacy summer is just starting.

This transcends Ethereum and applies to any decentralized system - it's an overt attack on human rights and casts a chilling effect over developers of open source software. Authoritarians who perpetrate human rights violations should be repelled by any and all means necessary.

I've spent all week on the @TornadoCash sanctions & haven't heard a satisfying justification yet.

The main argument is "criminals used it a lot." Okay, but they use everything law-abiding citizens do.

Where's the line? How slippery is this slope? The uncertainty is a step back.

The implications of what happened today and its repercussions (github accounts deleted, contracts blacklists) will spark important societal discussions and an uprise against the status quo.

Going thru the list of sanctioned addys (https://t.co/SyRQqlB0vq)

Includes TC Donate address, Proxy address, Gitcoin grants address (!), TC Router, the USDC 100 pool, 100 DAI pool, 10 ETH pool, 100 ETH pool, 1,000 DAI pool -- appears to be every TC-related wallet they could find

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion [video from The Curiosity Show: https://t.co/DF82ASFj1a]

New governance systems and their implementation can have an impact far beyond DeFi or crypto.

Reading and reflecting on https://t.co/t5ToH7GSwJ and https://t.co/apNTlkOdGw this weekend.
