True. And that only goes to highlight that the US consitution is not a universal inherent moral code for humanity, but ideas on how a bunch of people in a region should get along.
While this applies in this instance, it doesn't make it right.
Any foreign contributions to any US political campaign are forbidden, so no?
> Federal law prohibits contributions, donations, expenditures(including independent expenditures) and disbursements solicited, directed, received or made directly or indirectly by or from foreign nationals in connection with any federal, state or local election. This prohibition includes advances of personal funds, contributions or donations made to political party committees and organizations, state or local party committees for the purchase or construction of an office building funds under 11 CFR 300.35, and contributions or disbursements to make electioneering communications.
I'm sure if you traced campaign contributions back you'd find what is legal already isn't that much different. I'd much rather see money out of politics.
Author here. That is a gross oversimplification imo. Money can be used for expression of speech but most commercial transactions shouldn't fall under it. I am of the opinion that money laundering/tax evasion etc are illegal activities which should be monitored and banned. Blanket banning a legitimate service by uploading Etherscan tags is super stupid and affects a lot of normal people.
Equivalent would be to block all withdrawals/deposits for all users at an international bank because they were found to be violating AML laws in some country.
If it’s being used in some random commercial transaction, not so much.
