At what point do platforms like GiveSendGo anonymize payments for real? (realize this is potentially a leading question about cryptocurrency mixers, but maybe there's a way to implement this with regular currencies)

I'm all for traceability, but I can't see donating anything through GiveSendGo if all my data is going to be leaked. Same with Kickstarter. They're just creating a honeypot/target for hackers.



you can't. not until the AML laws get repealed.

The payment processor was hacked as well, and all payment data, including card data was leaked.

Amazingly, the entire 5GB archive was made available to journalists for "research", who then began promptly dialing everyone for "comments".

Twitter refuses to this day to take down tweets that include personal data, despite their policy on hacked data.


ooo what about some kind of zero knowledge proof that proves citizenship but nothing else.

It's actually even worse than if they just never enforced their policy on hacked data. What they actually do is selectively enforce it, apparently based on which side of the political spectrum would benefit. For example, remember that they did take down all of those tweets about what was on Hunter Biden's laptop, citing that policy as justification.
