How realistic is it that public figures would be facing charges in the future? As a developer, should you remain anonymous? At the end of the day satoshi knew he was going against the status quo and managed to stay safe, however, what about all these doxed developers? I can see how they'll look on github and try to hunt contributors. We are facing a scary future. It's better to say steps ahead and plan accordingly. Someone with resources probably could move jurisdictions before it's too late but what about the rest. And even if you could move you could see yourself in an Assange situation trapped in some embassy. I would like to know if developers here think about this at all and what is your escape route if shit hits the fan.
You are literally a wizard, time traveler or both
Should public developers be anonymous? Now I think this is not going to help at all, since the intelligence agencies (the real predators) already have a dossier of them. Look at how they completely doxxed the Samourai developers during the takedown.
Best thing to do is to have the ability to organize a good legal defense.
Open source needs more lawyers.
The open source probably can't go anonymous again due to exposure,same time not just a good legal defence system or lawyers but accountable,courageous and trustworthy ones. Because it you fighting a more powerful system which can use all power just to subdue you.
I agree for Developers to be anonymous, but that isn't a healthy way either especially in terms of social relationships. Though we know that most developers always decide to remain anonymous except those who run social softwares.
