NY Halloween Privacy Protest, organized as a response to shut down Tornado Cash, which I covered in my last article, is getting some important updates.

Updates

Yesterday, during a weekly, live streamed Monerotopia videocast, Douglas Tuman announced, that due to a small number of participants, He is changing Halloween Privacy Protest to Halloween Privacy Meetup.

The meetup will take place at the same place and time.

October 31st, 2022 in New York City, Washington Square Park at 6:00 pm

Later all the gathered people will go to the bar near the meetup place, to talk about the latest events and their impact on the freedom of speech and privacy in the crypto sphere.

A desire for privacy does not imply shameful secrets; Moglen argues, again and again, that without anonymity in discourse, free speech is impossible, and hence also democracy. The right to speak the truth to power does not shield the speaker from the consequences of doing so; only comparable power or anonymity can do that.
