"Fable 5’s safeguards detect requests related to cybersecurity" This is a horrible decision. Requests that help harden systems are likely indistinguishable from blackhat requests

Fable 5’s safeguards detect requests related to cybersecurity, biology and chemistry, and distillation. Users are informed whenever a fallback occurs—on average in less than 5% of sessions. We’ll keep refining the safeguards to reduce false positives.

gm @zachxbt, I know you're busy, but I'd greatly appreciate any help/advice you can offer I had used @HTX_Global long before the sanctions and unknowingly used it a few times in the days after the sanctions. I first found out about the sanctions after I got banned from the @HyperliquidX frontend and was told in a discord ticket on 3 june that it was due to using HTX I've been trying to get in touch with @elliptic and @trmlabs and I'm willing to comply to prove my innocence as a regular user. I've already spoken to @0xTrojanhorse from @chainalysis who explained that they simply tag any wallet that ever used HTX, even before the sanctions, and that it's up to their clients to decide which addresses to ban I have run my wallets through @GoPlusSecurity's public API and @blockaid_ and they have all come back benign the affected wallets hold 99.5% of my networth and all of my points on various protocols, so the effect has been devastating. Just yesterday, all my wallets in my @opensea profile, even ones that hadn't touched HTX, were banned, meaning I no longer have a means to sell my NFTs x.com/0xasrequired/status/20…

Recent UK crypto sanctions seem to be a bit of an overreach. Wonder if it will ever get to the point where it’s ignored because HTX address tainting onchain has been catastrophic. In the past sanctions were done and those crypto businesses typically had a high % of illicit activity (Huione, Blender, Hydra, etc). While Justin Sun may be a controversial name HTX has a decent number of Asia retail users. Basically now I’ve had to ignore the sanctions category when tracing cases by exposure since “risk” itself has become meaningless. Also compliance tools are a bit flawed and do not differentiate pre & post sanctions activity well. Meanwhile I have a legit $1.25B laundering case by an illicit actor the UK completely failed to detect. Given UK incompetence historically in crypto cases it’s not surprising to see them sanction HTX and miss the actual violations…..

One of the things I hate the most about polarized politics is how people start drooling at the thought of their enemies committing a visible atrocity. "but we know a priori that they do those things, we only want the evidence" 😞
