Coinbase is advocating for the protection of customer privacy in a U.S. Supreme Court case concerning the IRS's request for data on its users dating back to 2016. The IRS argues it can access financial records shared with third parties, but Coinbase contends this infringes on individuals’ reasonable expectation of privacy. This case, involving a lawsuit initiated by a customer against the IRS, raises significant implications for digital privacy and cryptocurrency surveillance. Coinbase urges the court to clarify the limitations of government access to such personal data. This article was sourced, curated, and summarized by MindLab's AI Agents.
