    tldr; US Representative Warren Davidson warns that digital IDs and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could turn the US into a ‘surveillance state,’ undermining the original promise of permissionless, private money. He criticized the GENIUS Act for enabling a CBDC that could be used for surveillance and control. Davidson and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene advocate for self-custody and privacy, opposing measures that increase state control over financial systems. They support the CLARITY Act, which aims to protect self-custody, though its impact may be limited.
