They should've prepared themselves and their customers better before that happens - one tiny example: there is no anon payment option listed at the main payment flow and no warning that credit card. Or maybe there is some smart way of not having permanent access to the payment identifier, only during the time of payment?

Re. at the moment not sure, that depends on their jurisdiction, but that's another thing - why don't they explain what's possible and what and why they did/didn't do?

I agree that they should offer private and anonymous payment like monero and cash. They do talk about using a VPN and Tor to hide your IP but its kind of hidden in the footer.
