#America was founded upon the core principle of #freedom. In time, we seemed to have lost touch with our founding principle, and our #political system is now preoccupied with #regulating the conduct of those with whom we disagree. Where is the freedom in that?

#Government is essential in a free society; freedom does not mean "free for all". On the other hand, the government should concern itself with the needs of the People, not the wants of a few—and in the case of the #Republicans, the yearnings of an individual.

A government is at its finest when it is barely discernible in the daily lives of law abiding citizens. But it is at its vilest when the elected officials officiously meddle in the lives of those law abiding citizens.

I think we're on the same page here. I think bill C-18 is ludicrous and self-destructive and contrary to how the 'net/web has worked from its inception.

And I don't believe the #government should be saying what is or isn't #news, or who can and cannot #speak/#broadcast. And since the purpose of broadcast #licenses was to share a limited #resource (#spectrum), and the #internet doesn't have that limitation, shouldn't be involved in #regulating the internet at all.

#CorporateSponsored #Corruption: Although Heern found that Democratic #commissioners were more likely to have an #environmental background than Republican commissioners, he otherwise didn’t see much difference between #redandblue states, in terms of who is #regulating #utilities — for better or worse. Governors and appointees of #bothparties are susceptible to #industryinfluence.

Can we #agree that the #pattern and common denominator here is #guns ?

How many #innocent people would still be #alive if we had stricter #GunLaws?

This needs to stop and that begins with #regulating #GunOwnership

@Fullnihilism Omg, I do this too!!!

I didn't know it was a Thing, omg, that's so cool!

Have done it our (DID) entire life, and we're a very traumatized autistic who Seriously struggles to regulate, and this is one of the things we've always just done instinctually that Actually helps us regulate, but idk why! 💗

While the real money laundering and crimes happen under their noses, governments are trying to prove their worth by taking down small exchanges and #regulating us, tracking our financial movements and restricting our #privacy.

This is why we don't believe in the state.

This #WendoverProductions video made me think of how #conservatives (deliberately) conflate #regulating a business with controlling your decisions.

I don't want the government parenting you, I want them parenting the businesses you spend money at.

Memory_Lane | #International_Tech_News | #Treasury_Nominee #Yellen (#YOUR_FIRED!! by #WE_THE_PEOPLE) is Looking to Curtail Use of #Cryptocurrency | Cryptocurrencies could come under #renewed_regulatory_scrutiny over the next four years if Janet Yellen, Joe Biden's pick to lead the #Treasury_Department, gets her way. During Yellen's Tuesday confirmation hearing before the #Senate_Finance_Committee, Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) asked Yellen about the use of cryptocurrency by #terrorists and other #criminals.

"Cryptocurrencies are a particular #concern," Yellen responded. "I think many are used—at least in a transactions sense—mainly for #illicit_financing."

She said she wanted to "#examine_ways in which we can curtail their use and make sure that [#money_laundering] doesn't occur through those #channels."

Blockchain-based financial networks are attractive to criminals because they do not require users to identify themselves—as the law requires most conventional financial networks to do. Because no individual or organization controls these networks, there's no easy way for governments to force them to comply with #money_laundering #laws.

So instead of trying to force the networks themselves to comply, regulators in the US—and many other jurisdictions—have focused on #regulating #bitcoin_exchanges that help users #trade between #dollars and #cryptocurrencies. Once a bitcoin exchange identifies who initially received a particular bitcoin payment, law enforcement can often trace subsequent payments through a #blockchain network's open payment #ledger.
