I think there is a difference between complying and building a product that helps with compliance.
Someone will do it, sure, but do you have to be the one?
Right. Kind of the Samurai v Wasabi debate.
The principled company doesn't build compliance tools and just sticks with offering services that don't help gov'ts do bad things.
Our question here isn't whether they can or should build the product. Our question is what do we do in response? The twitter post recommends closing all channels with Amboss (which is a very muscular form of boycott I think).
Short if that we can condemn them online and get up enough backlash that maybe they stop offering the service. But still use their services.
Are there any other options?
(Maybe the other conversation I veered into with Darth here was how bitcoin as a whole should behave toward the state.)

Yeah that wouldn't be me.
