Federal prosecutors announced charges Friday against a contractor with the Internal Revenue Service who allegedly stole the tax returns of a high-ranking government official. A source familiar with the matter told CNN that official is former President Donald Trump.
Thanks - that’s very interesting! I’m still not sold on the idea as I believe it violates the same provisions that I think are good in the GDPR (for which they seem to have carved out an exception). But it’s an interesting idea. I wonder if it has had the intended effect of income equality (verified through studies)?
Generally speaking I think people are “aware” that rich people make obscene amounts of money. So telling them “how much” doesn’t seem like it would be worth the privacy violations. Though from what you’ve listed it seems like Finnish tax information may not leak as much information as a US return does.
Something to consider… Thanks again!
