The EU will make companies publish their true owners, but trusts will only have to provide the data to the state.

I am in favor of regulations like these. At the same time, I am against tracking what products people purchase. The two issues are similar in structure, but very different in practical consequences. Tracking people enables profiling them and denies their human rights. Tracking companies helps stop tax-dodging and other forms of massive cheating, and companies are not entitled to human rights.

However, the restrictions on buying using anonymous prepaid debit cards are an injustice.
