XmrBazaar was conceived as a project, as a marketplace for LEGAL goods and services. It was never designed to be yet another DNM. My job is to protect the platform and Doug personally (who is not anon, unlike me and our dev) from the state. There's also a difference between *my personal views* and my professional duties (I joined XmrBazaar when the terms were already in place and voluntarily accepted them to work according to them :) ) because while I do not believe in state law, I believe in the common/community rules you voluntarily accept if/when you join and if you do not like them - you can leave freely (the problem with states - there is nowhere to "leave"), as I wrote once in chat: "On the moral dilemma: I don’t have one. For the bazaar, I’m just a logic circuit -- my only job is to flag if a listing risks state-enforced legal trouble for all of us/platform. If I started imposing my morals, I’d ban sugar, all refined oils and carbs, alcohol, nicotine, and every state-legal / subsidized poison first. Go further down the 'Aillia knows best' path, and we’d end up with a world of miserable people...maybe a few Tibetan monks would be cool with my lifestyle choices, and possibly Jocko Willink or Bryan Johnson (and it's a big, big 'maybe' on those two, lol). So free will is the better bet for all, trust me: just provide full info and let people decide for themselves ;) ...Just realized that monks also won’t be happy, but for a different reason, lol." Oh, and I just noticed you created this account to drop this one comment… ;)

I cannot describe in words how much I despise the word "legal". And yes, I feel the same contempt when SimpleX (or any other FOSS) talks about "legality" bullshit. "Legal" = buying/selling goods and services for which the state will not come after you (*for now*). But most people don't understand this, and they also don't understand that there are no rules or legality, only the fact that the state, thanks to the trust in the fiat system on the part of the NPCs around you, has unlimited resources = they can start hunting you down at any moment. Even just for fun. Why not, if the NCPs around you perceive it as legal? By the way, the fact that XMRbazaar has the ability to exchange crypto - fiat - crypto, is certainly cool, but it can still be regarded by a psychopathic state (any of them) as: * financing terrorism * money laundering * money transmitter services And yes, I know how multi-signature works, and that XMRbazaar does not hold users' money. :) >>> If I started imposing my morals, I’d ban sugar, all refined oils and carbs, alcohol, nicotine, and every state-legal / subsidized poison first. Hmm, a little bit of regulation in free trade... 😏 Kim Il Sung, the Father of the nation, would love that.

I made this account to use nostr and read monero posts lol and people can conduct illegal activities based on legal goods but anyway
