This is why people here stress you should buy bitcoin without KYC. Privacy is essential!
KYC is bad and should be avoided at all costs.
At very least, XMR swap, or mix your coins!
KYC is not bad because its the way to determine the people background. Its purpose is to detect any fraud that involves money laundering etc. Its just bad on crypto space since most of the project here doesnt have the capacity to safely store the data of their consumers thats why undergoing KYC on crypto projects is dangerous but KYC purposes itself is good if you are a law abiding citizen since your privacy is safe if the company handling it is license and trusted due to the confidentiality clause for the KYC procedure.
Ha, they sure tricked you! It's right for businesses, companies, exchanges etc to get access to the data of every individual that interacts with their business just to screen them. It is up to law enforcement to have the necessary tools to disrupt criminals without compromising innocent people's privacy. KYC is a is disguised as "a tool to counter money laundering and criminals" but in reality it allows any business to collect the sensitive data of innocent people, which not only takes away innocent people's right to privacy but also opens up more vulnerabilities to their identity and sensitive information every time they submit it to a third party.
