I build tools other people are free to use. I have historically refused to implement tools to be used for censorship purpose. Here, you're free to invest/yolo.. or not.

Ah the meth dealer’s ethic: “I just sell the stuff, they choose to smoke it.”

You're free to invest sure, but I assume it doesn't say that the guy who programmed it thinks it's a scam in big fat red letters?

I assume you think it's morally wrong to censor and that's why you don't want to build these tools. But how does it differ from thinking it's morally wrong to scam people? Is there some level of degree difference here?
