The lack of credit to an author really reinforces that feeling as well

If you actually read the article and not the headline you would recognize that this has nothing to do with the legitimacy of cryptocurrency and everything to do with money laundering. All monetary value is imaginary after we got off the gold standard, so how are currencies controlled by global governments any less of a sham than crypto that is decentralized and not obfuscated by central banks?
Also if you lost money trading this news then I agree, that's on you. The total crypto market cap is valued higher today than before this news broke in the past 24 hours so if you sold on this news you only have yourself to blame 😂😂😂
This is the most important comment on this thread. I wish lemmy forced you to post the date of the article
I agree, but also when has a threat of a fine ever stopped a capitalist from doing what they want? They just call it the cost of doing business.
This all happened in the past few years because of cp, sex trafficking, and revenge porn laws and regulations. A lot of sites found it much easier to just remove non-verified content than to go through all their content trying to discern what was legal and what was not.
Yeah a lot of "amateur" content is gone, but also hopefully more minors and adults are protected from having non- consentual porn of them posted online.
Sad this has been up for hours with no mention of the best kids cartoon ever, Scooby Doo
