Freedom of monetary exchange is a type of freedom of speech. Freedom to say a thing or send money is different than the freedom to not be persecuted for saying that thing or spending that money. In the US, you can say what you’d like and send BTC where you’d like. But if you’re speaking out or spending against powerful interests, you might end up in jail.
This is why non-KYC is valuable.
Perhaps Snowden can chime in
