I'd argue it's more like KYC for the internet. Something HN users have brutally and ruthlessly defended for banking every time I argue it's a 4A violation (in fact, it's one of the most fiercely defended things anytime I bring it up).

Give in 20+ years and you'll be called a kook for thinking otherwise.

KYC is one of the greatest government overreaches in the last several decades. I'll back you up on that.

Can you explain the connection between KYC in banking and the Fourth Amendment? How does KYC constitute a government search/seizure?
