Will getting a digital bank account let my government track my online activity?

D.J@lemm.ee to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 24 points –

For context; I live in a NOT progressive country/region where being LGBT is illegal, and I often post in LGBT spaces. I want to do digital transactions but am afraid of the above will quickly get me in jail.

I Am Not A Lawyer : I presume your best chance of anonymisation will probably be crypto accounts. But even then, platforms must register as authorized banking institutions with ID verification to be able to operate. And I suspect the local state can access that data, for example to track tax evasion.

But you also don't want unauthorized platforms because who knows what will happen to your money.
