I said it once, I'll say it again about all the compliancepunks out there: 'Compliant privacy' is like... you can have triple anal and still be technically a virgin, right? (Pardon my French, but it’s the only analogy that fits... pun intended.) What is your plan if it's ABSOLUTELY impossible to comply with the future EU Chat Control Act AND still protect users' privacy? Evgeny Poberezkin, are you ready to be the next Ladar Levison? Can you publicly promise will SimpleXChat will follow Lavabit's path IF it's impossible to comply?

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… ;)
