One thing that is never factored into reports by security agencies is the threat posed by the state. So for instance, in the United States federal framework for criminal crypto enforcement report recently published by the US Department of Justice's Cyber Digital Task Force, it states: https://www.justice.gov/ag/page/file/1326061/download https://www.justice.gov/ag/page/file/1326061/download >>Because of the global and cross-border nature of transactions involving virtual assets, the lack of consistent AML/ CFT regulation and supervision over VASPs across jurisdictions—and the complete absence of such regulation and supervision in certain parts of the world—is detrimental to the safety and stability of the international financial system.161 This takes it as a priori that state institutions having Total Information Awareness with regard to private financial transactions DOESN'T pose a threat to the "safety and stability of the international financial system." This is an absurdly totalitarian political philosophy and the infrequency in which it's criticized is extremely dangerous.
