> in the spirit of the good natured enforcers at the various data protection agencies in Europe Is this serious? Why would we assume enforcers to be good natured if they benefit from fines. Or to assume they would stay good natured, even if you have the most perfect humans there now. It's far more likely that the EU is creating tools to prevent disruption and manipulate markets. The template will likely be followed elsewhere, effectively elevating the state's data collection abilities over all other organizations. Note, Bitcoin does not seem compatible with their laws.
