A few months ago I filed a FOI Request with the UK's National Crime Agency which claimed that cryptocurrency and end-to-end encryption pose a risk to National Security.
First they ignored me, so we reported the NCA to the Information Comissioner's Office, who then denied my request for filing under a pseudonym. Today
fnew (npub1wl3…znlx) and
bitcoinpolicyuk (npub1z74…d4yx) filed a new FOI Request to obtain information on how the UK came up with their outlandish claims.
But here's the catch: we realized that the NCA is exempt from the FOIA process, and only liable to environmental requests.
Thankfully, Freddie and BTCPolicy UK have done extensive work detailing how Bitcoin can cause a positive change in reaching the UK's sustainable energy goals and further a shift toward renewables – meaning that the NCA's criminal framing of cryptocurrencies does not just impact your right to privacy, but directly impacts UK environmental policy.
Stay tuned for the next reason they'll come up with to deny our request, because we're not backing down 🔪
