EFF has joined the chorus of crypto and privacy advocates pushing back against the U.S. Treasury Department's decision to issue sanctions that ban American citizens from using the Tornado Cash coin mixer.
"EFF is deeply concerned that the U.S. Treasury Department has included an open source computer project, Tornado Cash, on its list of sanctioned individuals,” the organization tweeted. "Code has long been recognized as speech, so there are clear First Amendment implications whenever the government inhibits the publication of computer code on a public website,"
Yeah… “deeply concerned”. That’s really close to saying nothing at all. I’d like to see them take a more pro-privacy stance and promote good bitcoin practices.

guess they are trying to be distant from any specific ideology. The good part is they start to step out of previous stigma to help projects like crypto.
