The effect might be limited to the US, but seems the SDN list is now expanding on purpose, as previously it was limited to people and/or businesses.
What happened now, is that SDN list also contains open source tools, for the first time. If this turns out to be legal/valid and not rolled back, the ramification for open source software authors and maintainers might be bigger than you think right now.
Imagine if releasing something as MIT today can land you on the SDN list in the future because someone, somewhere, used that OSS for something illegal.
Edit: Also, this opens up a new attack on various people in the US who have public Ethereum addresses. Just send them any funds via Tornado to their address and suddenly they are breaking the law, as they can't reject the transaction.
