A non-custodial Bitcoin exchange taking the French government to its highest administrative court over a tax reporting directive might sound like a long shot. But Bull Bitcoin’s legal challenge against the EU’s DAC8 crypto tax reporting framework is grounded in something far more visceral than regulatory disagreement — it’s about whether collecting and centralizing data on millions of crypto holders could get people killed.

The post New EU car rules bring driver-facing cameras, and higher costs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The European Union (EU) road safety drive just shifted into top gear as regulations in the bloc have evolved to the point where, as of today, July 7, every new car and van registered in the EU must ship with an infrared camera permanently directed at the driver’s face.  A standoff is now brewing as the EU’s explanation that the new update is its solution to drastically bring down road accidents has proven insufficient for critics, who insist that the privacy and extra expense tradeoff is a bad deal for drivers.

Meanwhile, hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger is going with a different approach, taking this opportunity to urge users to rethink if th
