A law that excludes countless people from the mainstream financial system inhibits economic development. >People in Somalia and Uzbekistan do not in any legal sense have privacy and due process. They have some degree of privacy and due process, and the industry you are championing reduces that for them, using the US's dominant role in the global financial system as a pressure lever. >You can't force other people to transact with you.
