@FandaSin @lehtimaeki Granted, we accept "guilt by association" with #VictimlessCrimes [i.e. nonviolent drug offenses], so it's kinda reasonable to assume one doesn't remain at a company complicit in spreading #CSAM once that becomes public OSINT.

  • In fact I'd rather expect any of the affected employees to preemptively getting in touch with LEAs and/or demand to get terminated at no fault immediately for their own legal protection.

Cuz at this point working for #Shitter is like #bankrolling the #IRGC in the #EU: "#CareerSuicide" at best !

@F3715H @JuxGD I second this one.

1. Obviously #Monero peaked recently because everyone who can is dropping #USD for #XMR and is #GTFO'ing the #USA due to #Trump...

2.I've seen "#ProofOfStake" #Shitcoins like #Ethereum and #Solana with setups that are way more wasteful, expensive and #hoarding of hardware like #RAM and #SSDs [the latter one being basically destroyed due to extreme #IOPS].

3.If you have no problem with #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard ¹ (and espechally #PayPal!)² ³, then you shouldn't have a problem with Monero either!

  • Yes it is a #cryptocurrency, but it's the "least worst" when it comes to #privacy, #centralization and some study seem to hint that Monero and the DNMs that use it actually reduce #StreetCrime and #Violence as they allow #NonviolentDrugOffenders [aka. #VictimlessCrimes] to be facilitated safer and in a trustless envoirment.

  • The Problems associated with #Monero are not due to the fault of Monero. It's what people do towards other people. Whether they do it for XMR, #Dollar, #Euro, or whatever doesn't make it better or worse than whether someone threatens a person with a knife or a rifle: Both are equally bad in the eyes of the law and society for all the righr reasons!

Also Monero per it's very design CANNOT be abused for "#SmartContracts", #NFTs and associated #malware - in fact the #developers of Monero removed any such ability by deprecating and disabling the tx_extra feature.

@rozeboosje worse even: There ain't any exemptions from the #CSAM ban, so legally speaking the moment some @Bundesregierung employee or any user from #Germany sees said CSAM on any platform they are legally liable for that unless they literally turn themselves in as withness to the #police.

But then again #Police refuse to even siphon off all the #URLs from #pedo #forums they seized and order the #Filehosters to not only hand them over a copy of the files & access logs, deleting the original and setup a #Honeypot to #log all future attempts of #reupload and/or #download for them.

  • They shure as hell could do that, and legally they have to (just as they have to arrest and ID every #NonviolentOffender of actual #VictimlessCrimes [CSAM certainly isn't victimless!] by law), but they chose not to

@jeffowski IMHO all #VictimlessCrimes need to be expunged and all convictions and sentences be commuted and retroactively removed.
@Lydie also any #VictimlessCrime being criminalized is bad and unless they retroactively issie amesties and reparations for those incarcerated, fired or otherwise discriminated and/or punished for #NonviolentDrigOffense|s and/or #VictimlessCrimes it's not a real change!
Crossing our fingers that Katie Wilson’s campaign strategy will continue to succeed because we need a police chief not tied to ICE, CBP and other corrupted federal agencies, going after vulnerable people.

SPD Drug Arrests Were Part of Trump's Anti-Immigrant "Operation Take Back America"

Police Chief Shon Barnes thanked "our federal partners" for facilitating the arrests of accused drug traffickers, all with Hispanic surnames.

@hyenagirl64 and that's how we get #VictimlessCrimes with sometimes mandatory minimums exceeding actual crimes for no valid reason.

Like the prohibition of #Sexwork and the #criminalization of #Sexworkers in general...

#Funfact: The #Monero market doen't give a fuck about #MICAR.

When will #Governments learn that #Prohibition doesn't solve problems?

One cannot ban #cash, and espechally not Monero!

@icedquinn and because the #USA treats ist's citizens as #Paypigs aka. #DebtPeons by making it artifically hard to near-impossible to denaturalize themselves and demanding #taxes even for those that neither reside in nor seek any servces from it nor get represented.
