Subject to further appellate review (en bancΒ or by SCOTUS if cert is granted), (1) TC’s smart contracts will be removed from OFAC sanctions list and (2) US persons will be allowed to use TC’s privacy-protecting protocol.

Related SDNY criminal case will likely also be impacted.

Yesterday the 5th Circuit held "Tornado Cash’s immutable smart contracts […] are not the 'property' of a foreign national or entity, meaning (1) they cannot be blocked under IEEPA, and (2) OFAC overstepped its congressionally defined authority.”

Anyone Can Buy Data Tracking US Soldiers and Spies to Nuclear Vaults and Brothels in Germany More than 3 billion phone coordinates collected by a US data broker expose the detailed movements of US military and intelligence workers in Germanyβ€”and the Pentagon is powerless to stop it.

WIRED has tracked thousands of US military & intel personnel coming & going from classified sites, incl. NSA hubs & nuclear vaults. We know where they sleep, what they eat, and which brothels they visit.

It's an ocean of blackmail & national secrets within reach of every spy agency in the world.

Welp, if you've been following the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), it's being reintroduced today.

Senators Blumenthal and Blackburn will hold a press conference at 10:30am. They've picked up some additional co-sponsors and will claim they've fixed all the problems.

That's false. This bill is a mess
