The State Department's Counter-Surveillance Play
The usual casualty for this is forget the section number now, but that that safe you know, there's a safe harbor carve out that could allegedly shield open source developers from SEC liability for publishing code and all of that is obviously further stalled yet again. Okay. Next up, staying in The US. This is a bit of a strange one. The July 24, the State Department in The US launched the Freedom Tech Excellence Program. Oh. Which is embedding private sector staff to work encryption, VPNs, and countering unlawful digital surveillance. Founding partners include the Bitcoin Policy Institute, framing Bitcoin as a tool against financial surveillance abroad. All the founding partners are Palantir, and one I've never heard of, Anjuril, and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
