shum should have used monero privacy news thread

Some of you may remember shum.fyi. The site documented real-world cases where individuals or organizations suffered financial censorship, privacy breaches, frozen funds, surveillance, or payment discrimination… and the implicit punchline was always the same: "Should have used Monero".

It’s a shame the site is no longer active. The concept was effective because it didn’t rely on theory, it relied on reality. News stories did the explaining. Monero was simply the solution sitting in the background.

So let's start a dedicated thread in that spirit. Share credible news articles, explain what happened and point out how private, censorship-resistant digital cash would have changed the outcome.

Not as mockery. Not as "we told you so", but as case studies.

The DNIT stipulated that individuals, legal entities, and platforms operating with cryptocurrencies must submit an informational sworn statement regarding their transactions when the annual amount exceeds US$5,000, whether through intermediaries or directly.

The regulations stipulate that this obligation will apply to transactions carried out on exchanges, digital platforms, or wallets, even when the transactions are conducted without intermediaries.
