"We protected telephone companies from liability for criminal calls, and we still prosecuted the criminals. We protected internet platforms from liability for user content, and still prosecuted bad actors. We did not prosecute the Naval Research Laboratory researchers who helped develop TOR because drug dealers use it. In every case, we regulated the actor and the intent, not the underlying technology. That has long been the right balance. It is the one I would encourage Congress to pursue." -- John Bridge, retired Senior Inspector with the U.S. Marshals Service and an early trainer and advocate for cryptocurrency investigations, in @RCPolitics(DeFi Education Fund)
