>>What you can't do is run a money laundering service with it. And the vast majority of TC transactions seem to have been exactly that - ways of hiding crypto from tax offices. This is a completely baseless allegation, that seems to rely on nothing more than the assumption that seeking privacy is an indication of criminal intent. It's the kind of logic used to rationalize dragnet surveillance programs that do away with privacy rights. >>A better comparison is the Phantom Secure sting, where a network that was used for primarily criminal purposes was shutdown. That's completely incomparable. That was a service to sell bug-proof phones, not the phone itself, and the service was expressly marketed to criminals to avoid police surveillance. The police infiltrated the service and bugged the phones. The Matrix example, where a generic privacy tool is outright banned, is far more comparable.
