EFF檔案法庭簡介支持龍捲風現金開發商羅馬風暴

著名的數字權利集團電子邊界基金會（EFF）已提交了法庭之友摘要，以支持羅馬風暴

A prominent digital rights group has filed an amicus brief in support of Roman Storm, a developer of the crypto privacy protocol Tornado Cash (TORN), who has been charged in relation to his work on the protocol.

一個著名的數字權利集團已提交了一份法庭之友，以支持羅馬風暴，羅馬風暴是Crypto隱私協議龍捲風現金（TORN）的開發商，後者因其在協議上的工作而受到指控。

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed the brief on March 23, arguing that Storm’s prosecution raises “larger civil liberties concerns that could chill the future development of privacy-enhancing technologies more broadly.”

電子邊境基金會（EFF）於3月23日提交了摘要，認為風暴的起訴提出了“更大的公民自由的擔憂，這些問題可能會更廣泛地更廣泛地散發出對隱私增強技術的未來發展。”

Storm has been charged with conspiracy to facilitate money laundering, operating an unlicensed money transmitter, and violating sanctions over his involvement in Tornado Cash, which allows users to conceal their crypto transactions.

Storm被控串謀促進洗錢，經營無牌的貨幣發射器以及違反對他參與龍捲風現金的製裁，這使用戶可以掩蓋其加密貨幣交易。

The EFF argues that the core issue in the case is the government's attempt to hold developers responsible for how their tools are used, rather than prosecuting the bad actors directly, which could have a chilling effect on privacy-focused software development.

EFF認為，此案的核心問題是政府試圖使開發人員對使用其工具的使用方式負責，而不是直接起訴不良行為者，這可能會對以隱私為中心的軟件開發產生令人震驚的影響。

“Nearly all privacy and anonymity protective software tools are dual-use tools. Like a physical mask or paper cash, they provide needed, often critical protections for users, but can also be used by bad actors to help hide their crimes,” the EFF wrote in the brief.

“幾乎所有的隱私和匿名保護軟件工具都是雙使用工具。像物理面具或紙現金一樣，它們為用戶提供了所需的，通常是至關重要的保護，但也可以被壞演員使用來幫助隱藏犯罪。” EFF在簡介中寫道。

“But the government’s prosecution theory here would criminalize the developers of any dual-use technology for the bad acts of others if the developers knew or should have known that people were using (or might use) their technology for those bad acts.”

“但是，如果開發商知道或應該知道人們正在使用（或可能使用）他們的技術來實現這些不良行為，則政府的起訴理論將對他人的不良行為進行任何雙重用途技術的開發人員定為犯罪。 ”

In the prosecution of Storm, the government is also relying on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which allows the U.S. president to impose economic sanctions and restrict transactions during national emergencies.

在起訴風暴中，政府還依靠《國際緊急經濟大國法》（IEPA），該法案允許美國總統在國家緊急情況下實施經濟制裁併限制交易。

However, the EFF argues that this application of IEEPA is inappropriate, as it is being used to criminalize conduct that does not directly violate any sanctions regulations.

但是，EFF認為IEPA的這種應用是不合適的，因為它被用來將不直接違反任何制裁規定的行為定為犯罪。

“If the government believes it is appropriate to criminalize these technologies, it must seek relief from Congress and not rely on IEEPA and the other laws deployed in this prosecution, or, worse, attempt to bootstrap ancillary activities even further removed from any criminal acts into the ambit of these laws,” the EFF wrote.

“如果政府認為將這些技術定為刑事犯罪是適當的，它必須尋求國會的救濟，而不是依靠IEPEA和該起訴中部署的其他法律，或者更糟糕的是，試圖引導輔助活動甚至從任何犯罪行為中進一步撤離這些法律的範圍。” EFF寫道。

“Congress has the authority to pass a law that clearly distinguishes legal from illegal use of these technologies, if it wants to regulate them, but the prosecution in this case fails to provide that clarity.”

“國會有權通過一項法律，該法律明確區分了法律與這些技術的非法使用，如果它想監管它們，但在這種情況下的起訴未能提供這種清晰度。”

The TORN token has seen a significant rise in the last month, up nearly 50%, on optimism of a favorable outcome for Storm, according to market data from Messari.

根據Messari的市場數據，由於對風暴的有利結果的樂觀，上個月撕裂的代幣在上個月的增長近50％。

Storm is due back in court on April 25 for a hearing on several motions, including a motion to dismiss the indictment.

Storm將於4月25日回到法庭上，要求進行幾項動議，包括駁回起訴書的動議。
