  "textContent": "I imagine it will get more places accepting Monero. I doubt any will stop accepting it because of this project. Of course, Monero is completely decentralized, we can’t control what people do in its name.\n\nI am not sure it is a negative project. Perhaps they can help bring private payments to more privacy companies. I’m sure the creator of MoneroShameList would remove a project if they messaged and mentioned that Monero is illegal in their jurisdiction—otherwise, I think it is an important commentary.\n\nI had an llm create a list of the info Stripe—which a lot of privacy projects use for a payment processor collects and how it uses it according to its privacy policy. I think it is hypocritical for privacy companies to claim such lofty things in their privacy policies about their ideals and practices, while only allowing trad-fi payments.\n\nObviously we should appreciate privacy projects/companies for doing what they do for privacy, they are still way better than the alternatives, but the financial side is a huge privacy nightmare that shouldn’t be overlooked.\n\nps I have a friend in Russia that **can’t** pay for privacy services online with fiat money. They can’t even pay for many things because Visa and Mastercard do not work. The only way he would be able to would be with crypto—and the only safe way would be with Monero. He was rightly interested in it and I helped get him started with it.\n\nI imagine it is similar in Iran and even many people in the UK might feel that way.",
