    A little context would be nice.

    "The whole case against him was based on the idea that privacy
    itself is criminal. This is his story.

    A little context would be nice.

    There is a good description on the YT page.

    "Naomi Brockwell, a well-known independent journalist and
    privacy advocate, recently produced and featured in a special
    report and interview concerning the legal case against the
    Samourai Wallet co-founder, Keonne Rodriguez. The segment
    highlights the ongoing debate about the criminalization of
    privacy tools and developer liability."

    "You might think privacy is optional. Something you can worry
    about later. But right now there is a major war against privacy
    being waged. If governments can arrest the people who build
    privacy tools, then when the day finally comes where you might
    need them, those tools will not exist anymore."

    "I had the pleasure and heartache of interviewing Keonne
    Rodriguez, co-founder of Samourai Wallet, an open-source, non-
    custodial privacy wallet, who goes to prison this week because
    of the privacy tool he created."
