Roman Storm is an open source developer.

On August 23rd 2023 at 6am with his 3-year old daughter asleep in the house, he was awakened by a fully armed SWAT team with rifles out. They cuffed him and took away his daughter.

His crime: publishing open source privacy code.

If found guilty Roman faces the prospect of multiple lifetimes in prison.  

If found guilty is any open source developer safe.  

If found guilty what does this say about our 1st & 4th amendment protections in America.  

Listen to his story & you tell me

This is a concerning situation. Hopefully, justice will prevail and Roman will not be punished for his contribution to open source development. My thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time.
