Sam Bankman-Fried tries to explain himself

Open source code should be considered protected speech. The fact that it’s not should scare the daylights out of any OSS contributor.

Also, privacy should be a human right.

If you disagree with the above, you might be a fascist.

It's protected speech. What you do with it can be criminal.

Code for an Arduino that moves a robotic arm is legal. Using it to pull a trigger and kill someone isn't.

Of course. Was the tornado cash person arrested for using the code in an illegal way or just for publishing the code?

We don't entirely know. The fact that the other Tornado Cash contributors weren't similarly arrested may be informative.
