Hate to break it to you, but all these processors that are facilitating crypto are actively policing what you do with it. They will restrict you or kick you off their platform for using crypto for things they don't want you to use it for.

Curious how much work they put into this. Do they follow coinbase->private wallet->multiple payees at different times for lower amounts?

Coinbase has an extremely advanced chain analysis system. Simple tricks like that are unlikely to defeat it.

Can you explain what the features on this page are being used for? Are you suggesting that if you buy coins from coinbase and they later detect that you are using them to pay for adult content that they will block your account?

Dark net people are pretty confident about tumbling. Or what about just converting coins.

Transferring your coins to a tumbler flags your wallet address in tools like Chainalysis. They can't see where you sent them post-tumble, but they can see that you sent them to a tumbler, and that alone will be flagged on your account.
