We have entered a dark hour in America, one I've been warning about for years now, and have been building to safeguard against. To take swift action, we are moving all Quilibrium bootstrap nodes outside of US jurisdiction

We will not stand idly by while the constitution we hold so dear is being ripped to shreds, and we're not going down without a fight.

Quilibrium will never enable monitoring, deanonymization, or invade the privacy of our customers or their communications. In fact, we are designed so we can't, even if we were forced to

Incredible thanks to the fast actions at the team at Cherry Servers for provisioning server capacity for us to aid this migration, it is a painful process but it will ensure the continued operation of the network and remove the ability for coercion to disrupt communication.

I am angry. I am furious. I am disheartened. But I am not stopping. This fight will rage on, and worsen in the coming years. I expect to be branded a villain in this fight. I never cared for popularity contests.

If you do not understand the reason I fight this fight, understand what the consequences are of the surveillance machine. Everything you do, categorized, associated, incorrectly deigned a bad actor by association.

- The legal authorization to coerce American companies to act on behalf of these security organizations to provide intercept capabilities in communication services

I have on good word that this is an ill advised practice.

On an entirely unrelated note, Quilibrium's only interaction with government to this day has been obtaining tax identification records and filing federal and state taxes, and being a signatory on the letter to Congress as mentioned in the thread above.

When was the last time you posted the update about quillibrium not being contacted by government agencies?

yes, I just moved the servers out of the US as a preventative measure against unconstitutional orders to the hosting providers

So will US devs still be able to build with Quilibrium or no?

Latitude is great, but they have literally no viable nodes right now 😔

hetzner and latitude are cheap and good i hear

Oof Cassie. Thanks for doing the good work. This does indeed suck

Thanks for all you do @cassie , we believe in you! ✊🏼

I would have expected no less from someone as capable, motivated, brilliant, and most importantly passionate about what they are doing to change the world.

Much respect.

🙏🙏

You’re on the right side of history, Cassie.
This kind of over reach has taken many forms over time. This is sadly just the latest incarnation

Five eyes, treaties, rogue agencies, it won't be easy. Would Bitcoin be willing to adopt quil nodes into the source?
