The crypto community has shown concern over privacy and surveillance issues, especially after the conviction of Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev and the plea deal of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The community has come together to support legal fees for these cases. Nym, a privacy-focused project, offers a mixnet technology to counter AI surveillance, which is becoming easier due to AI’s ability to create digital doubles for tracking and controlling behavior. Additionally, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are seen as a significant risk for surveillance and censorship, with most designs lacking privacy protections.
