To be fair though, this is a fight the Americans have to do themselves. It's not up to foreign companies to resist and face prison to fight against laws the American people have voted for, and continue to vote for.
It's entirely up to the American people to change their government themselves, and very cowardly of them to demand foreign companies fight a fight they're not willing to fight themselves.
If Americans aren't going to stand up for themselves, wtf should anyone else?
All these people abusing Phoenix, calling them cowards, why aren't they abusing their government? Is it because their government will do to them what they are doing to children protesting at universities if they dare complain?

You are right. This is our fight
I understand your perspective, however it's not quite so simple to just vote this problem away. There are significantly more steps involved than just voting.
Sure. Still, it's no one else's problem. All the abuse that Phoenix has received is absolutely wrong. Americans need to focus that anger where it belongs, with themselves for choosing the government they have.
Nothing Phoenix is doing is a crime. They folded with zero pressure. They will do it again in other countries sooner or later. Yes they can do what they want and I expect nobody to take a proverbial bullet for me, but I am free to say they are fucking cowards and fuck them for wasting the money I just spent a couple months ago setting up with them.
Well said.
The problem is that the US operates under an imperial system that trumps international laws, jurisdictions and borders. You just saw this: the governments of Iceland and Portugal enforcing the orders of the US government for stuff that isn't even criminal.
Hmm it’s taken from 2 stores. 2 stores that have the market for nearly all mobile phone apps.
Maybe that’s the problem? It’s not the only problem but having a duopoly for app developers is a bad model.
No, most ppl did not vote for this LMAO
But it will be our fight
That's the very true and worrying part!
turns out everyone is under american rule if you need the dollar. even still id rather be outside the US borders to reduce the frequency and severity by which they can fuck with me and my loved ones.
I guess we thought bitcoin companies would be different in this way.
And what will Phoenix do when they face similar pressures in the EU? Their recent actions do not inspire confidence.
Freedom is everyone’s fight
