I think the insinuation is that such information has no right to be private. Or such individuals have no right to privacy. The obvious issue being that to enforce this, no one gets a right to privacy. But all in the same of "peace and safety", so don't worry.
Secrecy is a lie. Privacy is a crime. Not sharing is withholding potential evidence. This is where we are headed...unless we demand the same of governments and corporations, and the powerful.
Privacy from the public is absolutely not a crime. Privacy from the government when it comes to finances may be a different matter. It's important to be able to separate these two, which is difficult, in part because governments are making it difficult to do so.
Context: Kraken is the only US-based cryptocurrency exchange which supports Monero, the top untraceable privacy coin of today.
Binance, the world's largest exchange by volume, yesterday announced the de-listing of Monero, triggering a price crash of 38%.
Kraken's post is in response to a Monero tweet. Privacy coins are akin to cash and legal in most jurisdictions, but are facing aggressive de-listing by exchanges with low regulatory risk tolerances. Kraken stands strong following explicit US laws rather than the extra-judicial whims of compliance teams.
Some privacy certainly is a crime. It's not unethical to commit that crime. Nothing whatsoever restricts laws from only criminalizing unethical behavior.

You can only react to information that you have.
Or rather, I don’t understand the question. ;-)
What they don’t have is the right to kill people.
Those two often get confused!
This is particularly embarrassing when you try to open incognito mode in your browser and you accidentally end up killing half a dozen people instead.

its also a crime to invade the sanctity of such things.
its also psychologicaly damaging to be under conitions of constant surviellance.
anyone who thinks its desireable to eliminate privacy must recon with the above.
