You're missing my entire point. The founders had significant local power their entire life. So they saw national power as something bad that could counter local power. They didn't want tyrannical powers for the president, that doe

If a country undemocratically restricts the right to vote then any decisions subsequently voted on aren't democratic. Women didn't vote to not have the right to vote. Just because something is democratically voted on doesn't

The problem with your argument is that you conflate procedural arguments with arguments on the merits. No person is entitled to an account on a website. However, it is sometimes bad and sometimes good to ban people, depending on who they ar

That is the best counterargument. But it's not clear to me that there will end up being better and worse places, instead of each place having its own brand of shitty local elites. And I don't want to bow down to elites allegedly o

The founders of the USA were local elites who didn't want their power checked, so they created a weak central government. I'm more scared of local politicians than national ones. One reason is that natl politicians tend to get muc

Which enabled a higher level of regional and local tyranny. Edit: The last example I gave up top illustrates the problem. Every iteration of the US government has had local law enforcement. They've always been able to abuse their power

The idea the government used to be less authoritarian is fundamentally wrong. Here's a few samples Founding to 1920: women can't vote 1919 to 1933 - adults can't decide to drink alcohol 1942 to 1945 - Industry lobby group win

I agree. But it's pretty obvious they're legally allowed to do it.

In contrast, I really like that Twitter is the one place where very rich and very powerful people can be told to their faces they're silly, stupid, and wrong by a large number of people. Most proposals to make Twitter more polite would

Sort of. Gensler doesn't get to wave his hand and eliminate crypto. But he does get to bring lawsuits against crypto companies alleging they violate existing law. He will have the burden of proof in those lawsuits. If he wins them he m

It depends on the specifics. For example, suppose a drug cartel invents a new formula. The DEA gets to ban it under existing law. I'm not saying that's analogous. I'm merely providing a counterexample for your idea that the g

The way the law works is often by banning based on intent and meaning and content. Exchanging information is too general: the law looks at what information, by whom, for what purpose. Nearly every white collar crime fundamentally involves s

Isn't it normal to copy code with citations into your project? It also helps document what's going on.

The law isn't there yet if you want crypto to work. But Gensler wants to kill crypto, and for that simply applying the existing rules fairly will do. Crypto doesn't have an inherent right to have the laws rewritten to enable it, i

Which country's laws apply and what remedies you can get if they were violated is far more complicated than geolocation of data. But very broadly speaking you would need to sue in an EU court to enforce EU law. And you could sue a US c
