Yeah, this is a good point. But this is why I limited my position to setting “a very high standard” for rejecting donations (and not rejecting cases from people “in the same ballpark” as Delo, assuming he is guilty, which we should not) and not “never.”
Also, I think there are some salient differences with the Epstein case, beyond the enormous gulf in moral turpitude implicated by the cases. Ito knew about Epstein’s identity, and IIRC Epstein had toured the Media Lab. A truly anonymized system should allow for neither of these.
(I also thought the Lessig article was perfectly reasonable.)
