Software is really just speech. So how could you be held accountable for someone else's speech? And this came to a head with Tornado Cash and the Samurai Wallet. And DOJ basically wanted to ignore all the guidance that Vincent had provided for a decade and start prosecuting really very selectively Tornado Cash and Samurai Wallet. And so thankfully that kind of is unwound now and hopefully we can lock in the temporarily just outcome there so that it doesn't have to happen to anyone else. (07:45–07:57)
