The Hill Article Vanishes, Raising Questions on Crypto Surveillance 'Transparency'
A recent opinion piece in The Hill bravely (and briefly, apparently) warned against the Treasury Department turning crypto reporting into a "global surveillance dragnet." The article, titled "Don’t let Treasury turn crypto reporting into a global surveillance dragnet," argued that the OECD's CARF initiative threatens privacy. (We'd link it, but it seems to have vanished behind a captcha wall, or
perhaps into the digital ether, for many users.) This vanishing act, deliberate or not, ironically underscores the very concerns the piece raised. Could it be a subtle demonstration of the digital gatekeeping and control the author warned against? Or just unfortunate tech difficulties? One might wonder if the entities pushing for ubiquitous financial surveillance are equally keen on ubiquitous
public access to critiques of said surveillance.
