Developing Tools for Freedom Fighters
summary
Privacy tools face legal pressure in Europe while activists need them to survive: the Wasabi company halts operations but an individual Wasabi coinjoin coordinator at coinjoin.nl continues running CoinJoin, Vexl ships a peer-to-peer no-KYC web-of-trust app for local trades, and Bitcoin Design focuses on usable UX for nontechnical freedom fighters. Regulators push chat control, digital IDs and FATF-style rules that would centralize behavioral data; concrete actions urged are to run nodes, host privacy services, and build local web-of-trust trading rails.
