- olalonde 4y agoBy that logic, we shouldn't have invented the Internet because it has also benefited the DPRK. We can't just stop inventing new useful things just because it might also be useful to people we don't like.

- RandomLensman 4y agoOk. Now let's say we abandon policing money the way we currently do (and arguably the current AML framework isn't very effective, looking at some studies). What do we do then? That would be the kind of policy debate worth having - not just anger about banned tools.
- nnx 4y agoNot only current AML framework isn't very effective to say the least, it is also becoming very clear sanction regimes are ineffective as well perhaps even counter-productive in most cases. Maybe diplomacy and mutually beneficial settlements are a way to go.
