Re "Using them to suppress controversy would be a silly move"
Whats the point of having a SJW button if its only for that account?
Say a user only likes their news from 4 US broadcasters and 3 US "digital" newspapers?
Keep that filter list just for that one users account? So that user is never going to be able to search for, find, discover any other news?
Make the filter global to the social media brand and ensure all users votes remove all non approved links, comments, images, reviews, transcripts, books, politics, music, cartoons, art?
Say a US university funds an event and a "professor" says something that could get the US gov interested? Something about US politics, crypto, DRM, police methods?
Can that university down vote all news of that event so it cant be searched, cant be linked to, the video now never existed and their own statement disavowing the video never exists?
A memory hole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... for that account? A memory hole for the brand of social media?
Could a gov, university, approved faith group, NGO, political party request a SJW vote multiplier? So one approved staff member can remove all comments, links with their one vote?
Do SJW get to link 3 or 4 big social media brands "votes" with a search engine monopoly and demand results, links and sites get deranked?
Can one US political party step in and say all links, comments on some topics get removed (not just deranked) for security "reasons" and that the people "voted" with clicks?
Can one SJW social media site then project its deranking onto another brands search results? Can a gov, brand, NGO, faith group take the dislike button "results" and demand sites, links, comments get removed?
US freedom of speech and freedom after speech is looking rather less complex than having global SJW rules remove and ban content.
The state gov will accept the payment in US cash. The crypto currency needed to make that payment will have to go to an approved 3rd party to make the conversion.
That "$10k" will be cash when the state accepts the payment. The user paid in crypto currency that was converted by a approved 3rd party as part of the transaction.
The state will never be out as they have cash just like from any other payment.
No risk for the state who is still paid in full with US currency and the state gets the optics of "accepting" crypto currency.
Think of it as the state accepting a CC payment from a private sector bank, from a building society, using "internet" banking.
The state gets its payment, the user used a CC. Money moved from an approved account to pay the state.
If that account is now called "crypto currency" from what was "credit card"? The state still gets its cash as the transfer.
Re "I wouldn't be surprised if it's illegal."
Person pays in bitcoin. The payment is cleared to US cash by some approved 3rd party payment system.
The government gets a cash US payment as it would from any other private sector CC, bank account, payment network.
At no time did the state government see the risk of any cryptocurrency.
The gov is paid in US cash on time and to the value of that account.
That approved payment network will then have to show its currency transaction reporting, suspicious activity reporting, monetary instrument logs on that cash and who has all that cryptocurrency.
It won't be illegal until the person paying in cryptocurrency cant prove the origin and full history of all their fully reported cryptocurrency.

Re "they are a symptom of a system rotten to the core."
NATO contractor policy at its very best. NATO wanted marines, hunting submarines and far-flung missions to support a war like global EU political foreign policy.
So Germany had to spend big on a navy system that NATO/EU had to approve of to project EU power globally.
EU political leaders are not navy experts. But it was great for over time and contractors got work. All that money on the table to plan up for "marines" and the Germans helping with far-flung EU wars.
Most of the more clever nations just budget in better ways and listen to their navy experts.
They go for expert systems for "hunting submarine". Want to project power globally and move "marines" around?
Some sort of fleet and troop ship can be considered with the big budget to support a real global fleet and all its different ships.
Dont let political parties design a modern navy. Dont ask a navy to become a coast guard ferry service and collect illegal migrants as part of its mission.
Political leaders read about pirates, illegal migrants that need to be transported into the EU, hunting submarines. Then the same political leaders want to project EU power globally with a navy.
One big ferry like ship with a long range, that can hunt submarines and do a lot of other missions becomes the huge contract. Money is on the table and the contractors build to that political design. The navy is ordered to accept the ferry design.
The navy gets to drive a big new ferry around collecting illegal migrants while looking for submarines... and projecting EU/NATO power globally.

Re 'why are cyber criminals still not in jail?"
None of the really smart law enforcement want to tell the other side or their own corrupt staff the "how" of collect it all.
Law enforcement like to tell the media that they gave a bad person a million US$ and watched the money move around the bad banking world.
Not that collect it all had the crypto to all their banks in real time for the past decades.
Governments like to map out all the bad people, see who has skills, who is evil, who is political, who is greedy, sloppy.
The clandestine services might like to turn some into support for their new "freedom fighters" i.e. another Iran Contra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...–Contra_affair.
Once a group has the support of the US clandestine services, no "cyber criminals" in that group get investigated, none go to jail while the US mission to support some "freedom fighters" is productive.
The other aspect is that US and UK law enforcement cannot trust their own investigators not to talk/sell information to lawyers, human rights groups, politicians, the media, criminals, their cult, their faith, as a dual citizen be totally loyal to another nation.
Too many bad people have been given security clearances in the police, gov, mil, security services to allow for "illicit proceeds" to be tracked without such efforts been discovered and methods sold/goven away to the very people been investigated. The police and mil in many once secure nations are now full of staff with political consideration and staff that have advanced under "political correctness". They are not loyal, criminal or will always support another faith, a criminal group, another nation.
Such staff with clearances cant be trusted not to report back to their cult, faith. another government, criminals.
So few in the police, mil, clandestine services really what to show what ability they have, even to law enforcement as generations of security cleared staff cant be trusted. The politics of an agency head has reduced the security clearance level to some political reward that is handed out to political party members.
Bad political people have had total US law enforcement oversight in the USA for decades only due to politcal party considerations.
Is the US gov doing what it did to the phone system to blockchain? Yes but they don't want the world to know what the police can do and stop interesting people trusting traceable blockchains.

Nobody wants to tell the bad people they are all been watched 24/7 and that their banking crypto to and from the blockchain is junk.blockchain
Let the bad people keep on trusting their banks and making crypto mistakes, their criminal networks just become more visible to investigations.

Its the same with banking crypto, blockchain tracking. Its been used to track people, but nobody has to know about it.

Re 'If the US bans credit card transactions and wire transfers with all exchanges"
The tracking of the past use of crypto wealth is also going to be so much fun when people have to show their new found "wealth", its origins and past global transactions.
No normal bank or CC will allow that inflow of new cash funds that draws gov/police questions.
People can hold and talk about cryptocurrency for a while. When a person finally wants to cash out their gov and bank will be waiting with unexpected questions.
Gov and banks will accept cash from work, a gift, inheritance, stock market, property, payment for a book, invention, past creativity. Normal things that make wealth and that can be tracked.
Was that part of "cryptocurrency" seen by law enforcement at any time? Now its been turned to cash? At a bank? Who is trying to convert it? How much? Foreign bank account crypto "assets"?
Currency transaction reporting, suspicious activity reporting, monetary instrument tracking (monetary instrument logs). A fun chatdown at the bank as they are aware of any attempts to stay below a reporting threshold.
What "promotion of conspiracy theories and fake news"?
One candidate can travel the USA and give speeches that people are interested in.
The other candidate stays in the coastal states and gives short press statements to the tame party political media.
The election shows the candidate that traveled the US and gave speeches wins the needed states. No "'conspiracy theories" in been able to do politics and win the needed states.
Listening and talking to real people all over the USA is not some new strategy, not some new idea. Get the votes and win elections.
Want to win? Find a candidate with some charm and energy to give a speech on any topic in different parts of the US.
Talk in positive ways about all of the USA.
To put hours and years into a service that then demands a US party political ToS?
Users who make the "something" could have then voted with their creativity and found a more freedom supporting service.

AC the problem with federal rules on NN was only a big existing monopoly telco could prove it was NN compliant to the federal gov.
Thats was a regulative barrier to enter the telco market.
No NN federal rules? More innovate brands can become a new telco network for a community. That federal rule oversight was removed.
Now states are demanding party political NN rules, once again forcing state compliance costs onto innovative new networks.
No NN rules? More budgets for new network innovation.
Lots of NN rules, only existing telco monopolies in select areas can prove they meet the gov definition of NN.
State and federal NN rules is a legal way to keep new telcos out of the market.
Federal telco rules, laws gave the US years of paper insulated wireline network as nobody had any reason build any better networks.
Why keep supporting state and federal NN rules for more years of NN approved paper insulated wireline?
Let the private sector in, try some innovation, try some net networks in aged communities, wealthy areas. Let business build up their own networks on commercial real estate and find a good ISP, not just an offer of NN gov approved paper insulated wireline.
The paper insulated monopoly wireline will always be an option. Try what the private sector can offer without the costs of gov NN rules.
The need for community broadband in areas that can afford network costs, fast broadband for gated communities is what will drive the post NN rule changes.
Groups and communities able to cover the costs of networks will finally be able to create their own regional networks without been stopped by federal NN rules that ensured existing monopolies would have been the only networks.
Why should a community just have to keep paying for paper insulated wireline NN monopoly that covers a part of the USA?
With their own funding local communities can build out a new network in their community, pay for design and connect to a ISP that can offer great service.
No more having to go back to some state or federal NN approved monopoly NN ISP.
A community that has to get state approval from some state bureaucracy because some local politician wants to add to NN rules in their state?
Instead of building a local network and getting connected, some state official has to inspect the new community network and see if it fits in with local politics and state required NN party political "rules".
With the NN federal rules relaxed the USA had a chance to innovate new local networks and services. Thats now been replaced by party political NN rules at the state level.
Once again communities that want to build new networks have to prove that are NN ready to some gov in some states.
Only the big existing monopoly telcos will be able to provide that NN compliance to state governments.
State governments move back in to protect their party political friends who have a NN ready telco monopoly.
The SJW will just work in the same way as they do in other areas of social media.

The need for community broadband in areas that can afford network costs, fast broadband for gated communities is what will drive the post NN rule changes.
Groups and communities able to cover the costs of networks will finally be able to create their own regional networks without been stopped by federal NN rules that ensured existing monopolies would have been the only networks.
Why should a community just have to keep paying for paper insulated wireline NN monopoly that covers a part of the USA?
With their own funding local communities can build out a new network in their community, pay for design and connect to a ISP that can offer great service.
No more having to go back to some state or federal NN approved monopoly NN ISP.
A community that has to get state approval from some state bureaucracy because some local politician wants to add to NN rules in their state?
Instead of building a local network and getting connected, some state official has to inspect the new community network and see if it fits in with local politics and state required NN party political "rules".
With the NN federal rules relaxed the USA had a chance to innovate new local networks and services. Thats now been replaced by party political NN rules at the state level.
Once again communities that want to build new networks have to prove that are NN ready to some gov in some states.
Only the big existing monopoly telcos will be able to provide that NN compliance to state governments.
State governments move back in to protect their party political friends who have a NN ready telco monopoly.
The SJW will just work in the same way as they do in other areas of social media.
Report the account to gov. Derank so fewer people can find the trending the conversation. Ban links, comments. Stop funding.
