> isn't that arguably worse? he helped people in a lot of countries break the law (created a place where illegal sales can be facilitated) The logic is not sound. 1. If someone started selling drugs using someones GitHub/GitLab issue tracker, would the project owner be accountable? I understand that Ross was likely well aware about the drug sales on his website, but saying someone is facilitating the activities because they own the place is not a great argument in isolation. 2. What is illigal is very different different from country to country. A majority of the sales on Silk Road was marihuana, which is now legal in a 21 US states and decriminalized in 10 others. There are countries where it has never been illigal. Personal posession of AR-15 is legal in the USA, but illigal in a lot of other countries. Suffice to say that it is pretty subjective.
