  Hmm. Maybe? Wouldn't it make more sense to allow these transactions to proceed but report them for investigation? Aiding terrorist organizations is a crime. Wouldn't it be better to know who's doing it? It feels like it would make more sense than automated block lists and account closures.

From what I've read, when they were shut down the government lost a valuable tool and ally in the fight against sex slavery.
