HTTPS is political (see attorney general of united states). Do you use HTTPS on your websites? (a step against the U.S. government position) Have you turned HTTPS off in your browser? (a step towards the U.S. government position) Do you implement forward perfect secrecy for HTTPS connections? (more against U.S. government position) How do you weigh it's threat to national security against it's protection from criminals for individuals and companies?

All of these actions can be viewed as political statements. Everything is political.



The DOJ just today announced that they are drafting new regulations on Cryptocurrency markets.

Absolutely, which is why their apolitical stance is absurd.
