Is there a good ToS/EULA diff site? It would be nice to see how and when these things change across many services.

With FinCEN Notice 2020-2 it's clear that the US wants to treat crypto as foreign bank accounts to coerce disclosure but that severely limits the scope of regulation they can do as it would place public blockchains as strictly not being American jurisdiction, and it would make monitoring American activity on these blockchains outside of the scope of domestic agencies and spy agencies would not be legally able to spy on American activities on these blockchains. When you understand these facts it explains why the US pursued dubious NK sanctions over what would be a much stronger case of considering the Tornado Cash protocol an unregulated bank which it is. There is a very big technical and legal distinction between what centralized BTC mixers do with UTXOs to be considered laundering and how the Tornado Cash protocol exploits how ETH works on-chain to combine ETH in a single account without taking KYC.
DDoS-Guard it is.

This article is terrible honestly. Statements like "tracing a cryptocurrency that once seemed untraceable". Excuse me what? Who thought this? Idiots at three letter agencies? Pedophiles and drug dealers?
Here's what the Bitcoin whitepaper itself speculated.
"As an additional firewall, a new key pair should be used for each transaction to keep them from being linked to a common owner. Some linking is still unavoidable with multi-input transactions, which necessarily reveal that their inputs were owned by the same owner. The risk is that if the owner of a key is revealed, linking could reveal other transactions that belonged to the same owner."
And here's an early Bitcointalk thread. Traceability was discussed and acknowledged from the very beginning.
