Take a moment today to remember that Keonne Rodriguez turned himself into prison. Where heβll stay for the next 5 years. For writing open source privacy software.

Thatβs not why he went to prison.
Wasnβt it because he was running the mixing service? Donβt get me wrong- itβs a mark of a tyrannical regime still and others have been put in jail for writing open source software, but his case is not about the software itself - at least that was my understanding
Samourai was a coinjoin service. Very different thing to a mixer.
They didnt take custody.
Trump is going to give him a pardon.
You still have faith in politicians. How quaint.
Hope is better than nothing.
Trump picked his own deep state advisors - but there are a couple good ones left. About 3/1000 in DC.
Good time exists, he won't have to do the whole 5.
Doesnβt matter. No one should spend a single day in jail for building a tool that someone, somewhere used for an illegal purpose.
It's not jail, you don't even understand the definition of basic things.
It's prison.
I never said that they should spend time incarcerated, why are you inventing an argument here?
May he be pardoned shortly!!!!

Do you know something the rest of us donβt?
The posts of him celebrating early Christmas with his family and Shia wife watching him walk in to prison were rough.
Letβs work on getting another pardon done during this administration.

Writing ' PRIVACY ' software and still showing your face out and about in public? Huh!
He's been writing ' PRIVACY ' software and all these while been showing his face out and about in public? Huh.
And? Whatβs your point?
Privacy and anonymity are not the same thing. He showed his face because that's what a man with a noble cause does.
Letβs fight for freedom fir our own soldiers π«‘π§‘π½
He will stay in prison for just writing open source code, while many crypto scammers are completely free without facing any kind of legal issues. This world is insane!
Take a moment to reflect on what the case of Keonne Rodriguez reveals.
Creating open-source software to protect privacy should never be a crime.
And yet, this man is now deprived of his freedom for defending a fundamental right.
This situation exposes a disturbing reality: when privacy becomes inconvenient, it becomes a target.
Under the guise of security, governments seek to tighten their control over citizens at the expense of our freedoms.
Defending privacy is not about hiding crimes, it is about protecting our rights.
Silencing those who build digital privacy tools puts everyone at risk.
Spread the word.
Privacy is not a luxury, it is a right.
Keonne Rodriguez must be freed.

History will remember this as a crime against freedom, not justice. Writing code is not violence. Punishing it is fear.
