Easy: They allow it to happen due to the culture of laziness. They don't use local-first software, utilize multiple nyms for certain purposes, use email aliases or have spam traps, self-host their own data, use cryptocurrency, etc.

Need I go on?

Are you saying they allow it because they use cryptocurrency?

Because unlike cash, cryptocurrency is designed to be traced. Even Monero. That’s the entire point of a digital ledger on a blockchain.

So you're saying cryptocurrency is the CBDC? That's the vibe I'm getting at.
