I settled with a credit card years ago and pay them a tiny amount per month. They send me a letter in the mail to confirm the payment each month.

Privacy is not just an illusion; it’s a delusion. Things like privacy statements and permission to use cookies are little more than sophisticated propaganda. If you think for a moment the Overlords cannot prepare a dossier on you within minutes that would make your mother faint and your father die of shame, you’re living in fantasy land. You have no idea how much data they store on individuals, and not just credit card purchases: tracking data, telephone conversations, text messages, anything you ever posted on the Internet. It’s a devouring machine. Get in their way, and you will find out how much they know about you. It has been this way for a very long time. This is nothing new. And yes, they really can turn on your cell phone camera and microphone at will without lights, so long as the battery is attached. And VPN? I laugh when I think about VPN. There is no cryptographic protocol used on the Internet, that the Overlords who brought all these technologies out in the first place, cannot decipher. None. The only way to live with this level of privacy evasion is to accept the reality of it. Stop thinking you are ever alone. Out in the middle of nowhere with no electronics on you? Maybe

Another thjng; the intel on just about anyone would be available to AI only mostly. The human operatives would be way too slow to respond and react isn't an option. Ultimately, AI must have a clinical eye and perceive the human as a curious little thing, with close to dementia awareness, if that. Naturally, prior to the development of an optimal AI to obtain and process all pertinent data (and its counterpart "social" networking infrastructure, so that the senile many would stream, nonstop, what earlier would recquire a giant apparatus per subject - and thus would be unattainable) all this had to be handled by autistic nearly schizo geeks with a heavy bag of high sec clearance badges. But they must have been terribly lacking.

It's quite obvious. You can see that it's a person but you can't say who it is. Just like in some cases with certain smart contract privacy protocols where you can see a transaction but impossible to connect it to the sender due to the shielding function of the smart contract.

When it comes to financial privacy, it becomes more of a concern. The risks in having an insecure financial statements are just too much. This is why you will never see traditional banks releasing the financial statement of anyone without their consent

Literally impossible, for science, is by definition, a process; thus, incomplete in perpetuity. The available data is, then, paradoxically, indefinitely unavailable.

Originally, criminality, then tax evasion. Also some grand ”mah private propertayh” talk which has some merit, but mostly it comes back to tax evasion and buying illegal goods.

Privacy projects are super awesome and necessary. I will be sticking around MilestoneBased platform to see if I find new startup offering such so I can invest.

No doubt about Monero providing privacy and some level of security but i need one that doesn't need me to hold their token to have the least that is necessary. privacy backed with Relayers are the best
