Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche highlighted the Department of Justice's (DOJ) revised approach to investigations involving software developers in a recent interview. Blanche reiterated the DOJ's commitment to addressing unresolved cases from the previous administration while emphasizing a shift away from 'regulation by prosecution' for developers. He assured that lawyers representing coders under investigation should feel confident in communicating with the FBI and prosecutors, referencing the Blanche memo which outlines this new policy. Blanche also stressed that the DOJ and FBI should not be perceived as adversarial by platforms, aiming to foster a more cooperative relationship. This approach marks a significant change in how the DOJ handles cases involving the tech industry, particularly those related to software development.
