Preparing my keynote for adopting bitcoin 2024 in El Salvador this November. It will be a message specifically catered to the country entitled "Complying Into a Guilded Cage ; How your country is losing its sovereignty".
I hope it's not too forward. In it, I look at El Salvador's most recent FATF evaluation report (just released Sept 9th). https://www.fatf-gafi.org/en/publications/Mutualevaluations/el-salvador-mer-2024.html
Let's see how that goes.

Have a new project you're wanting to start? Don't incorporate a new company. Legal entities make you governable.

Step 1. Jurisdiction passes law restricting encrypted secure social platforms, requiring back doors, etc.
Legislation has criminal penalties for non compliance.
Step 2. Jurisdiction will take 1-2 years to "police the perimeter" and identify entities within scope of the legislation.
Step 3. Ban-Hammer nails down non compliant platforms, enforcement phase. Usually 3-4 years after passing of legislation.
We are (in UK, Canada, aus, EU, ) currently in step 2.
Mozilla and all other entities may bring enforcement matters to court however once a law is passed it's really hard to argue against it. Judges enforce the laws and interpret them.
I wouldn't assume mozzila backing protects from 1984 government. Problem is most of those entities are doxxed and thus have balls to grab. Government will grab them and squeeze.
solution : don't be doxxed. dont use legal entities like foundations or not for profits for your projects. Do them a-la-satoshi and give a finger to the central state

Freedom of informations are your friend here. Ask for emails relating to bitcoin mining from the state ministry/department in the FOI and unmask what the true issues really are.
FOIs are very easy to send and often free. Worth ten minutes of your day?

Long time Nostr user under another npub, I'm a civil servant who will bespeaking at the adopting bitcoin conference in El Salvador this year.
I've never taken any public-facing roles before, but seeing what I see I felt I couldn't be silent any longer.
I plan on speaking about the erosion of state sovereignty and what you can do today to help make your government more open and transparent.
