Funny to see this make headlines here, where many people would gladly support using mass surveillance to fund the government. The same ones that support financial privacy restrictions are quick to play victim when the same violations are applied in ways that don’t benefit them.
Yes the ultra wealthy shouldn’t be able to conceal wealth that gives them immense power to control a so called democratic and free society. Regular people without that same wealth and power should have some amount of privacy from their government. It’s not impossible to hold those two beliefs without being a hypocrite.
While you're running away from that other yes or no question, I might as well try asking you this one - do you support privacy?
