Online reported that a16z issued a document stating that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) should stop holding the DeFi agreement accountable for its illegal activities that were not incited and beyond its control. The article points out: Holding people accountable for systems and activities over which they have no power or control can lead to negative consequences. Unfortunately, the Justice Department ignores this distinction and attempts to do so by holding software developers accountable for the actions of third parties that use neutral tools it originally created but no longer controls.
