    the court accused him of an “ideology of maximum privacy.”

      By this logic every locksmith should be put on trial for making locks, every manufacturer of vaults and safes, every lumber company for making wood used in fences, every costume designer for making halloween masks, every post office for renting PO boxes… etc.

    Hopefully, not all is lost. He has appealed and hopefully a greater authority will overturn this ruling.

    1. Dutch court convicts engieneer, not Dutch engieneer gets convicted.
    2. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dutch court wants to say that he should have stayed in Russia and supported Putin’s war.

    This happens with cash too. If you take in a bunch of cash, you have a duty to know what it’s from so that you’re not facilitating terrorism or crime or subverting sanctions. In fact, of you handle cash or finance, you generally have to take training on these laws every year.

    This thing is the definition of money laundering and was known for exactly those problems.

      There are reasons to use this service that are completely legal. They should sentence the people laundering money, not the people providing privacy tools that happen to be misused.

    money laundering is a big bad no-no word that THEY have stigmatized (conditional brainwashing) in order to get every day people to SUPPORT their regime of THEFT and CONTROL.

    “You are trying to keep your money to yourself and stop us from seeing it so that we can’t steal some of it and punish you for using it how you like??? You’re a MONEY LAUNDERER. Money laundering Money laundering Money laundering”

    When you control money, you control minds, livelihoods, and monopolize fear itself.
