Coinbase files amicus brief with U.S. Supreme Court, defending user data disclosure to IRS

Odaily News Coinbase filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday, defending the reporting of user data to the IRS, stating that "the court should intervene to clarify that the third-party doctrine does not allow the IRS to conduct a dragnet search." Coinbase said the U.S. government exceeded its authority in requesting data from hundreds of thousands of users and believed the matter had broader privacy implications. (CoinDesk)
