There is no reason for payment processors to be liable. If you have a problem with Bitcoin, you need to support a general, unrestricted right be all persons and orgs to be served by the financial system, except maybe for a narrow and limited set of injunctions through the courts.
No other position is cohesive.
- throwaway290 4y agoSorry, I do not support your right to be serviced by financial system if it supports your wrongdoing. Your freedom stops where mine begins. My position seems pretty cohesive to me. If you do not do evil, then you have nothing to fear. If you have something to fear despite doing no evil, let's fix the government. This is a human problem and won't be solved with tech. (And again, it was pretty clear to anyone that there was wrongdoing in this case and PH was going to get sued. I do think it should have been sued anyway, that it was not may have to do with victims not willing to come forward given sensitive nature of the crime, general disinclination of people to deal with dirt, or a good content cleanup job.)

So - if I have to fear being being shutoff from the financial system by private actors who dislike me, despite not having been convicted of a crime, a law to ensure my right to be served.
