It’s really not the exact same. Money is a different type of thing from communication. People in general are much more okay with limiting what one can do with money than with communication for a number of reasons. The essential point is that money is power while communication is not. There are some things that we don’t want to allow people to have the power to do, so we have to restrict money usage and thus see how money is used.

I agree, I’m wondering about the difference.

Despite being intangible like communications, transactions are perhaps better evidence that something tangible has happened or is about to happen.
