Not sure what is so surprising about this?

Put it this way: for which businesses in the crypto space who KYC/AML' their customers do you have strong expectation that they are not and never will share such information? Why do you have such expectations?

I think a reasonable person would expect information to not be shared other than as disclosed a-priori, and as required to conduct business. And for external access: for reasonable efforts to screen requests for legal authority and rationale for access.

I know many people think that is a reasonable expectation, but in fact it certainly is not.

P.S. take a shot at answering the question, which centralized entity that collects KYC/AML info in this space are you highly confident is much less likely to share it, whether accidentally or intentionally, than Coinbase?

@CashApp

Based on what evidence? Have you compared CashApp's internal data control processes, policies, and security mechanisms with Coinbase's (n.b. they are both based in San Francisco, i.e. same jurisdiction, very similar professional and cultural backgrounds).

I have not & do not believe that this info or access would b available 2 either @CashApp or @coinbase customers. If it was I would like 2 review it; given the amount of services @Square provides without any reports of a data breach imo they r less likely 2 share ur info then CB.
