Pete Buttigieg

Agree

Yes

Pete Buttigieg has generally supported technological innovation and privacy, but also emphasizes the importance of regulatory oversight to prevent illicit activity. He is likely to support citizens' ability to use self-hosted digital wallets, provided there is some government monitoring for compliance and security, aligning with mainstream Democratic positions on balancing privacy and regulation. However, he would not be a strong advocate for completely unregulated digital finance.

Disagree

No, and ban digital wallets that do not contain backdoor access for government agencies

While Buttigieg supports regulatory oversight, he has not called for outright bans or mandatory backdoors in consumer technology. He has generally favored a balanced approach, similar to other centrist Democrats, and has expressed concerns about privacy and civil liberties. Therefore, he would likely disagree with a policy as extreme as banning all wallets without government backdoors.

Disagree

No

Buttigieg has not advocated for outright bans on digital wallets or similar technologies. His policy positions tend to favor regulation over prohibition, and he has spoken about the need for the U.S. to remain competitive in technology and innovation. Therefore, he would likely disagree with a blanket 'No' to self-hosted wallets.

Disagree

Yes, and also allowed to use a privacy layer that prevents monitoring of funds and transactions

Buttigieg has supported privacy rights, but he has also consistently argued for government oversight to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities. He would likely oppose a system that prevents all government monitoring, as this would conflict with his stated positions on national security and regulatory compliance.
