So? Most of this is negligible, and can be shielded if the donor cares about this level of privacy - using a VPN, disabling cookies, spoofing your browser client.

The OP is probably talking about personal data such as mass collection of users photo ID, passport, email address, home address, full legal name and gender, telephone number, date of birth. In a standard non-blockchain crowdfund, these are the sort of things each donor would need to first share with PayPal Holdings Inc. - or a similar company - in order to have their donation fulfilled.

Passport fraud is slightly more illegal than turning off your browser cookies.

Don't shift the goalposts. The conversation is not about legality or illegality of certain actions, but about how this fictional "international organization" does not want any US company to have their personal data.

The point is that in such an unrealistic hypothetical, crypto is a very small concern.

lol @ goalposts. the conversation has gone from “blockchains have no application” to “ok, blockchains have an application, but it probably only concerns a few.”

there are many users who would be happy to have systems of value transfer that don’t require routing all value and personal data through a central US company.
