If you only see one picture today, let it be this ridiculous chart showing how ineffective and pointless KYC/AML measures are. #AbolishKYC

New FinCEN regulations will label you “guilty until proven innocent “ for using any cryptocurrency privacy tool w/ @sethforprivacy EPI #286 ➡️ youtu.be/MhObOfYhaFE We discuss: -FinCEN’s proposal to extend the PATRIOT Act to cryptocurrency privacy tools. -The government giving collective punishment to anyone using crypto privacy tools. -Who stands to benefit when the government keeps making regulations that encroach on privacy? -The possibility of the proposal leading to Monero being banned from any regulated exchange in the US.

um centro global que defende construtores de #Bitcoin, desenvolvedores de código aberto, educadores e pioneiros em tecnologia de privacidade. Encontre conteúdo de última geração em tecnologia, aprenda como você pode tomar medidas práticas na luta pela liberdade. #privacidade
Welcome to Freedom.Tech, a global hub championing Bitcoin builders, open-source developers, educators, and privacy tech pioneers. Join the freedom tech movement today and learn how we can use technology in the fight for human flourishing and freedom. Learn more 👉 We've been working hard behind the scenes over the past few months to launch a new content hub that lets you find content on the bleeding edge of technology, learn how you can take actionable steps in the fight for freedom, and amplify your own voice by writing unique content. What is the "Freedom Tech" Movement? From the earliest days of the Internet, an ongoing struggle has existed between those who would use the immense potential of this new technology to control or suppress human freedom, and those who would use it to empower the individual and promote human flourishing. This struggle has taken many forms over the decades, starting with the cryptoanarchists in the 1980’s and the cypherpunks of the 1990’s, both of which shared a common goal of enabling individual freedom through the use of cutting-edge technology. Just as us humans strive for freedom, information in the digital age “longs to be free.” The “freedom tech” movement is a burgeoning grassroots movement that aims to encourage the optimistic, untethered development and use of technologies by people from all backgrounds, languages, and cultures across the globe. Freedom tech allows us to slow a rise in authoritarianism, fight back against encroaching surveillance capitalism, and empower journalists, dissidents, and activists everywhere. We believe that the freedom tech movement closely aligns with that of the open source movement, and we hold the ideals of free and open-source software closely. While the freedom tech movement has no central authority or leader to dictate its aims, we have laid out the aspects of technology we consider vital to the movement below. Freedom tech should be: ✅Free and open source ✅Without usage restrictions ✅Privacy-preserving ✅Resistant to censorship Quite simply, "freedom tech" is technology that empowers you. Learn more With this launch we've included a few original blog posts, and are working hard to get some of the best writers in the space involved and amplifying their content on Freedom.Tech. If you want to keep up with what we're doing, simply sign-up with email on Freedom.Tech, subscribe via RSS, and follow us here on X: freedom.tech
