Mexico’s Supreme Court grants sweeping rights to access citizen & company bank data
Four of five Supreme Court justices voted to allow access to citizen bank documents, removing the need for warrants. The decision is based on argument that individual rights to bank privacy is secondary to the government’s need to combat tax fraud and monitor for money laundering. Needless to say, that opens the data of millions of Mexican citizens to scrutiny without consent or specified cause. It is, however, in keeping with the aim of Mexico’s president who wants to crack down on Big Tech abuses.
