๐ค @alex_pertsev joins Common S3nse in Amsterdam, September 4-5. Writing code should not be a crime, yet his case shows whatโs at stake when open-source developers are held responsible for how code is used. This goes beyond one person, it touches the future of privacy and open-source. Support his legal defense in the comments. ๐โโฌ
