But having received Tim Holborn's post (on the credentials list) almost simultaneously with your yours -- his being about the dilemma of privacy needs versus the need for government and law-enforcement tracking -- I find I'm curious about the privacy and government regulations aspects of the interledger. On skimming the White-paper I saw no direct reference to any sort of government tracking, although parts were very technical/mathematical and I may have missed it. I did see some references to privacy, but wasn't able to decode what it would mean in terms of privacy from corporate tracking, cookies, etc. Do you know if the interledger, as proposed at this point, has considered these implications, in either or both of these directions: being tracked by governments when necessary, and not being tracked by corporations when not wanted?
