Surveillance, Democracy and the State
summary
Panel reports an IRIS survey of 300+ companies (majority US) and shows EU surveillance is profit-driven and expanding; FATF’s 40 recommendations bind ~180 jurisdictions, impose 5‑year financial data retention and fuel ~200k suspicious transaction reports/year in the UK (600k in the US) sent to 100+ FIUs; private blacklists like World-Check hold ~750k names (5k added/month, bought for $530M); governments outsource vetting, enable warrantless public filming and seizure under laws such as NSW’s, and NGO regulation is used to curb dissent.
