America has a social credit system too. Fortunately it's sorta decentralized, doesn't work, allows you only to win dumb prizes like buying water from a robot before you flight.

Do crypto folks who parrot Lessig's "Code is Law" maxim know that Lessig's point is that because code can powerfully regulate individuals it should, like regular law, be democratically accountable and therefore regulated? In many ways "code is law" is anti free speech.

This kind of legal research isn't always fun but it's so important. @amandatums & co. deserve so much credit for wading through 100+ cases in order to verify the statement: sanctions laws have never been applied in the way the government is trying to apply them to Tornado Cash.
