Ludlow Institute(@LudlowInstitute):A national survey of 2,200 Americans: 1 in 2 say only THEY should access their financial data. Only 12% accept government snooping (even with a warrant). Still, KYC/AML compliance under the Bank Secrecy Act forces banks to centralize sensitive data. These surveillance honeypots predictably breach, exposing innocent people to harm. Lawmakers should start paying attention.
