Can't speak for GP, but I wouldn't - privacy is already eroding at a startling rate, and more KYC for things that really don't need it is just a further affront to human rights. (See also the FCC's recent request for comments on requiring government-issued ID to use a cell phone.)

Are your human rights also violated by Spotify keeping track of what songs you listen to, or Netflix and YouTube keeping tabs on what shows you are watching?

Internet non-ad monetization will also be in the form of massive syndication, where a subscriber gets access to thousands of high quality websites, and web publishers get access to millions of subscribers. But they need to take a hint from streaming services and really make massive syndicates which includes everything for everyone for this to work.

Yes. In the past, in the US, library checkout records were private / not recorded, specifically to protect the right to privacy, which is specifically protected by the UN human rights charter.

The systems you described not only record that information and make it available for warrants, they also sell it, and allow warrantless searches of it in some circumstances.
