> in the spirit of the good natured enforcers at the various data protection agencies in Europe

Is this serious? Why would we assume enforcers to be good natured if they benefit from fines. Or to assume they would stay good natured, even if you have the most perfect humans there now.

It's far more likely that the EU is creating tools to prevent disruption and manipulate markets. The template will likely be followed elsewhere, effectively elevating the state's data collection abilities over all other organizations.

Note, Bitcoin does not seem compatible with their laws.

Yes I'm sure enforcers are looking to fine Bitcoin.

I'm not making that argument. It's a reflection of how the law is about expanding government power without considering technology.
