Privacy Is Not a Crime

[johnblockbuster]

Critics often frame privacy as something only criminals need. In reality, privacy is a basic right for ordinary people who simply want to live with dignity and safety. Yet in Washington, some still argue that financial technologies like DeFi should collect and store millions of Americans’ personal details or be banned.

This thinking ignores the danger of creating giant honeypots of sensitive data. In the 21st century, information is the most valuable commodity—and the easiest to exploit. Without real safeguards, citizens pay the price.
