Republican Representative Tom Emmer has reintroduced the 'CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act' in the United States House of Representatives, aiming to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Emmer views CBDCs as a potential surveillance tool that could compromise financial privacy. The bill has received support from several senators. The reintroduction of this bill comes amidst growing concerns over the potential misuse of CBDCs for collecting sensitive financial data.
