On the other hand, if a mint is unable to collect data on its users, and especially if each signer is only part of a quorum (jurisdictionally distributed perhaps), it could be argued that they're powerless to do much anyhow.
What do you mean by quorum and signers? I meant cashu mints and not fedimint mints. The former are not federated, don't they have just one signer?.
When you said "such as cashu wallets and mints" I thought you were including fedimint in the discussion as well. Yes, a cashu mint could be quite vulnerable if it's a known entity - much easier to shut down if there's a single point of failure and that point is known.
