excellent post. It is important we get beyond the moral grandstanding phase, and fully consider the implications of the weaponisation of ostensibly apolitical systems in finance, law and technology.<p>If these systems become instruments of the foreign policy of any single actor, wielded unilaterally without any oversight, then it represents a threat to the sovereignty of every country who still cares about the notion.<p>Perhaps the future will be independent national systems with a decentralised protocol for interoperability.
