Taler should allow anonymous payments, which means a possibility of one fix to the present model: you can read the news without the news reading you.

Taler from what I understand does not require full details to be shared with the tax man, only agregates. That being said I don't think taler is anonymous at all.

I was told Taler is anonymous - for the customer.
