European refugee here. Thanks for the post this, I remember Coin Bureau covering the shift in world tax regulation and this 'cooperation' (extortion most likely via some economic or geopolitical leverage more likely).
Still believe the latam infra/bureaucracy will lag behind, and privacy first tools like Monero and Retoswap will provide a great alternative to people looking to outright reject this new total surveillance dystopia.
Not all latam countries are the same and as of 2026 a couple of them already have systems in place that are basically worse than some European 'regulatory' systems.
There is also the cultural aspect that Latam people are not as bothered to comply immediately as my fellow sheep in europe. Things are still less formal in the day to day. So even with these system in place they will still follow their own customs (much harder to break).
One way I have noticed that the parasitic government are addressing this is by limiting people to services unless they download the official gov[dot]... malware app and use facial recognition [which is totally private and does not retain any sensitive data... trust me bro]. Which to be honest should be illegal and treasonous.
