The sanctions apply directly to the protocol and it’s code, and this is the issue. It is not applying to persons, or criminal actions.
It would be like sanctioning the Matrix protocol and it’s code because it has facilitated terrorist communication. Obviously terrorists planning a bombing over Matrix protocol are engaging in criminal behavior, but this doesn’t mean the protocol itself is also a criminal entity.
