KYC is a state attack on sovereignty, privacy, and personal security. For the record.

"security of their people" - that's the most disgusting regurgitation of state propaganda I've seen on here. KYC/AML is about surveillance & control.

The US dollar is the primary medium of exchange for terrorism funding. KYC/AML hurt everyone and seem to have little effect on criminals. 

These laws literally create giant honey pots of data of innocent civilians ripe for the picking. I have never seen data showing the effectiveness of AML/KYC but every day there is a data breach. 

I guess we have to agree to disagree. 

No, that's needed to combat terrorism funding. There used to be a lot of terrorist activities in my country until AML/ATF rules weren't strictly in place.

They aren't good for decentralization of money dream though.

Is Lightning a Big Fat Target for the State?

KYC is a state sponsored attack? May be not when they need to ensure AML and ATF for security of their people. I don't see objections worthy of it but for governments, it's impossible to stop p2p, they are just going behind everything they can.
