My @GitHub account was just suspended 🤷
Is writing an open source code illegal now?

While Tornado’s code is functional – mixing ETH transactions so they are harder to trace – publishing the code on its own is protected speech, even if that code can be used unlawfully. pic.twitter.com/Z2MWBhBakW

It’s gotten MUCH worse.@TornadoCash Github accounts and codebase has been entirely removed.
This is much worse than just sanctioning a website.
Code is speech, so we are potentially violating the first amendment.
