Consequences of non-anonymous transactions

You folks see this article about Coinbase selling customer info and transaction data to ICE?

This is not a business model I would support. Just another example of why people should be using shielded Zcash transactions instead. At least it would break part of the surveillance model.

From the article:
When asked about the ICE contract and the data involved, Coinbase spokesperson Natasha LaBranche directed The Intercept to a disclaimer on its website stating “Coinbase Tracer sources its information from public sources and does not make use of Coinbase user data.”

Emphasis mine.

Please refrain from spreading false information.
