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.”

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.
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 Germany—and the Pentagon is powerless to stop it.

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

I share the goal of stopping CSAM and helping victims. Unfortunately, like EARN It, this bill will also undermine strong encryption and make families and kids less safe.
