Are open-source codes legally responsible for users' improper use? The Roman Storm case once again puts this issue in the spotlight. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin spoke out in defense of Tornado Cash developers, arguing that such prosecutions represent a form of "improper criminalization" of code. Behind this controversy lies a deeper question: in the era of decentralization, what kind of responsibilities should open-source developers bear?

If this logic were to really hold, then even calculator developers would have to be responsible for black-market accounting? Ridiculous.

This logic is really outrageous. Just writing some code makes you an accomplice? Does that mean the person who makes guns should also be responsible for every bullet?

Something's off. If this logic really holds, then even the person who wrote the calculator would have to take the blame? The code itself is innocent.

If this logic holds, then programming language developers would also have to end up in jail...

This logic is completely ridiculous. Should code be used for human rights exploitation? Then knife manufacturers should also be held responsible for stabbing incidents.
