Coinbase accused of selling customer data to the US government

Indiscretions launched by the non-profit organization Tech Inquiry in the online newspaper Intercept, accuse Coinbase of having transferred data on its customers to the immigration service of the US Federal Government, thus violating all agreements on privacy and confidentiality. If confirmed, this news would fully occupy a place of honor in the ranking of the biggest scandals on the breach of sensitive data, such as the one that, in 2018, involved Facebook and the analysis firm Cambridge Analytica. The American exchange denied the news, but, according to rumors, there is evidence of the sale, in 2021, of a software license to the immigration office for $ 29,000 and another one shortly after for $ 1.36 million.
