The USA and the UK are the worst offenders in the West when it comes to the willingness of governments to weaken the privacy of their citizenry. The German-speaking world is much better.

It won't do any good for governments to mandate the delisting of privacy coins from exchanges. Decentralized exchanges will be left. If you want to be less traceable, you can swap your coins for a privacy coin on a DEX and then do a transfer and then swap back to a non-privacy coin.
