I believe some mixer owners will get scared, and try to review their privacy level.

That is one outcome, another could be that some could try to simply close shop and move on to other businesses as they could deem it a business not worth carrying on with if the threat of arrest and imprisonment looms over them all the time.

They should first go after Google for receiving money for scam advertising (which happens on a large scale, every single day).

I remember when people were making the case that search engines and websites (especially Google/Youtube) that were allowing copyright material to be uploaded and linked should be shut down on the lines of pirate video websites therefore using the same analogy I understand why you said that. Google and other search engines allow any nonsense to be indexed and then shared without any fear yet the people who have probably become victims after finding scams and siphoning website directly from hyperlinks have no way to accuse them.

We advertised a service that was good for the people who wanted to protect their privacy. We, like other sane people, do not support and strongly condemn immoral uses of mixers.

You should watch "Coded Bias" on Netflix. It's about AI, but you can still get Big Brother ideas out of it.

Exactly, we all condemn the use of illegal activity but we all would like to have privacy respected.

Thank you about "Coded Bias", I will try to check it out as soon as I have enough time to watch it.

Ideally theymos could clarify whether any US agencies requested information, or if any was provided. Because if he can't, then it'd be an argument for bitcointalk using a canary in future.

Maybe theymos will make a comment on the subject. I hope he does provide clarity on your comments.

It's really sad to see this happen, let's see how fair and just the investigation will be.

We all are waiting to see the outcome, let us see how far the FBI are willing to go link Chipmixer to any individual or organisation. As long as a fair and transparent investigation takes place that is all that is expected.

What a ridiculous post Roll Eyes

The FBI knows how internet marketing is being done and they never put the liability on the third-party advertisement platform there is not even a ruling on this that we can cite.

I hope the issue stays to the point between FBI vs Chipmixer and that is all. If it gets to a point where campaign participants are targeted it would set a very dangerous precedent on the privacy of forum members and that would be unacceptable to most.
