    The Post Title Says “12M Aussies personal data leaked - and 1 Billion worldwide”.

    That’s not really sensational, it’s two facts included in the article. Sensational would be “12m Aussies hacked” or something, implying something entirely different.

    There’s no assertion from the article or the title that KYC shouldn’t happen - you seem to be imagining that.

    However, if a service uses a third party to collect and store KYC data then that third party needs to take reasonable steps to safe guard that data.

      I have no issues with the article. I have issue with the post which calls KYC laws evil. That’s what sensational (though maybe a different word would fit better).

      PS. Oh, I see. You came from the recent cross-post at Australia. Observe that poster there used an objective title giving straight numbers. OP here used a completely different title.
