Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol

PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement's ability to intercept and monitor communications

Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.

Not let the government have 100% viewability of every financial transaction you ever made

That's explicitly not the case with gnu taler though.

Edit: I checked their website https://taler.net/en/features.html and I don't even know if sending person to person is possible. So you might have a point. I would never advocate to get rid of cash though, cash is good. Maybe in a distant future once we really have a digital equivalent working reliably.

From their FAQ: "Taler supports push and pull payments between wallets (also known as peer-to-peer payments). While the payment appears to be directly between wallets, technically the operation is intermediated by the payment service provider which will typically be legally required to identify the recipient of the funds before allowing the transaction to complete. "

I made a post about all the problems w Taler here if you're interested https://lemmy.ml/post/17733761
