FINANCIAL PRIVACY VS MONEY LAUNDERING:

Privacy is normal and good. There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay… POST: https://primal.net/e/note1mc36qeww634g6gqt937l50mhals4nszda3uaq07mg34a22cxym5qcealw0

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto, by Eric Hughes. Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world… POST: https://primal.net/e/note19ah4n537tag40pntxu3xhahq0n3uaqmk2vnulnxj2ts9u50x7wfsjvrjxq
