社群媒體對羅斯·威廉·烏布利希特赦的反應揭示了政治右翼和左翼之間的明顯分歧，有些人譴責，有些人則模仿。

Social media lit up Tuesday after news broke that President Donald Trump had pardoned Ross William Ulbricht, the creator of the onetime darknet marketplace Silk Road.

週二，在唐納德·特朗普總統赦免曾經的暗網市場“絲綢之路”創始人羅斯·威廉·烏布利希的消息傳出後，社交媒體引起了關注。

Ulbricht, who was arrested in 2013 and sentenced to two life terms plus 40 years in prison, was released from a low-security federal prison in Arizona on Wednesday morning.

烏布利希於 2013 年被捕，被判處兩次無期徒刑外加 40 年監禁，週三上午從亞利桑那州一所安全級別較低的聯邦監獄獲釋。

Some celebrated the pardon and release of the Silk Road founder, while others condemned Trump’s decision. The pardon has sparked a heated debate online, with many discussing the nature of Silk Road and its impact on the dark web and cryptocurrency.

有些人慶祝絲路創始人的赦免和釋放，而有些人則譴責川普的決定。這次赦免在網路上引發了激烈爭論，許多人討論了絲綢之路的性質及其對暗網和加密貨幣的影響。

以下是對烏布利希特赦的一些反應和迷因。

‘A new meme for libertarians’

“自由主義者的新模因”

Many libertarians, Bitcoin fans, and digital privacy enthusiasts took to social media to celebrate Ulbricht’s pardon and release.

許多自由主義者、比特幣粉絲和數位隱私愛好者在社群媒體上慶祝烏布利希特的赦免和釋放。

One of the more viral posts included a blurry photo of the Silk Road founder walking out of prison with a small plant and a bag of his other belongings slung over his shoulder.

其中一個最熱門的貼文包括一張模糊的照片，照片中絲綢之路創始人走出監獄，肩上背著一袋小植物和一袋其他物品。

“Breaking: Here’s the first image of Ross Ulbricht leaving prison as a free man,” the post reads.

「突發新聞：這是羅斯烏布利希以自由人身分出獄的第一張照片，」貼文寫道。

The photo quickly became a new meme for libertarians, who began creating and sharing fan art of the image.

這張照片很快就成為自由主義者的新迷因，他們開始創作和分享這張照片的粉絲藝術。

Some supporters of Ulbricht argued that prosecutors unfairly targeted and punished him with double life sentences in spite of no prior criminal record.

烏布利希的一些支持者認為，儘管他沒有犯罪記錄，但檢察官對他進行了雙重無期徒刑的處罰，這是不公平的。

“Silk Road sold apparel, art, books, collectibles, computer equipment, electronics, herbs, and yeah—drugs,” wrote X user and Bitcoin fan @bensig. “But according to friends who used it, Silk Road was arguably the safest way drugs were ever sold: no street violence, no shady deals, and zero fentanyl.”

「絲綢之路出售服裝、藝術品、書籍、收藏品、電腦設備、電子產品、草藥，還有毒品，」X 用戶和比特幣粉絲 @bensig 寫道。 “但根據使用它的朋友的說法，絲綢之路可以說是有史以來最安全的毒品銷售方式：沒有街頭暴力，沒有黑幕交易，而且零芬太尼。”

“Everything was tested and peer-reviewed, like an Amazon for substances. For this, the government gave him two life sentences without parole for nonviolent charges, including money laundering—just for using Bitcoin. They relied on questionable evidence and made him an example.”

「一切都經過測試和同行評審，就像物質亞馬遜一樣。為此，政府因非暴力指控（包括洗錢）判處他兩次無期徒刑，不得假釋——只是因為他使用了比特幣。他們依賴有問題的證據，並以他為榜樣。

Others accused Ulbricht of facilitating much more serious crimes with Silk Road, including human trafficking and hitmen.

其他人則指責烏布利希透過絲綢之路促進了更嚴重的犯罪，包括人口販運和殺手。

“Trump just issued the most ludicrous pardon in American history,” wrote @hissgoescobra. “He released Ross Ulbricht, the godfather of the Dark Web, where trafficked children, machine guns, illegal drugs, and hitmen are sold daily.”

「川普剛剛發布了美國歷史上最荒唐的赦免，」@hissgoescobra 寫道。 「他釋放了暗網教父羅斯·烏布利希（Ross Ulbricht），暗網每天都在販賣兒童、機關槍、非法毒品和殺手。”

According to the International Business Times, Silk Road’s terms of service forbade selling items that could “harm or defraud,” including assassinations and “weapons of mass destruction.” A report by The Guardian included all weapons and child sexual abuse materials, though the do not mention human trafficking. It’s unclear if these terms were ever broken, and if so, whether Ulbricht knew about or acted upon such violations.

根據《國際商業時報》報道，絲綢之路的服務條款禁止銷售可能「傷害或詐騙」的物品，包括暗殺和「大規模殺傷性武器」。 《衛報》的一份報告包含了所有武器和兒童性虐待材料，但沒有提及人口販運。目前尚不清楚這些條款是否曾被違反，如果有，烏布利希是否知道此類違規行為或採取了行動。
