What people think about the KYC/AML/CFT security theatre outside of our social bubble?

The general perception of such laws and regulations is negative in our social bubble.

But what about the general population of voters?

Do they think these regulations (government and financial service provider's surveillance programs) are good for the good guys and accept the "nothing to hide" argument?

Maybe the majority of people think it's worth the privacy invasion and risk of identity theft (because you need to submit all your personal data to the financial service providers) and it is a low price to pay for government's ability to track criminals and terrorist?

Last but not least - "think of the children" argument. You don't want paedophiles to use the financial system to fund child abuse?

Maybe only paedophiles, terrorist, money launderers, corrupt politicians and tax evaders whine about the good KYC/AML/CFT laws and law abiding citizens have nothing to hide from the Big Brother?

(I am not proponent of the KYC/AML/CFT laws, only want to provoke a discussion.)
