Mailchimp Slams Door for Crypto Content Without Warning

So basically, serving up crypto emails makes them a target for hackers who want to send deceiving emails.<p>Sounds fair.<p>If you’re going to offer a service to people, you have an ethical obligation to protect them from harm.<p>That looks different for different customers.<p>A downside of crypto is that nobody is ensuring you against losing the money. No FDIC or identity theft insurance.<p>Combine that with the supposed anonymity, and you have a major security risk.<p>The company is currently being sued by people affected by such a hack, so this isn’t hypothetical.

Glad to see this silly crypto fad fade away. 0% utility, waste of energy, and has no possibility of every being used as a currency for anything. People will look back on this era and wonder what the heck people were thinking.

Cry me a river. The intersection between people who are operating in the few ethical areas of cryptocurrency and those that need an email marketing service is basically empty. If you are promoting your cryptocurrency project via email there is a very good chance that you are part of the problem.<p>So this seems like a manifestly reasonable action that is hard to criticize. All these crypto-libertarians seem to love the free market until it makes a decision they disagree with, I wonder why?
