so why should anyone have any faith in a crypto exchange not doing the exact same shit as paypal? if they know their customers and if they can plainly see that one of their customers accepts monero for something they don't like, they don't have to prove that any money has gone to them, they could simply lock them out of any future exchanges just by way of pointing out that they advertise a monero address (or whatever) even if they can't link it back to them
That's why you move the XMR to your wallet first, and do not send it directly. The crypto exchange doesn't know anything about where you're sending the money if you do that.
They can't see anything about Monero by design. There's a leaked cia/fbi/? presentation out there of them working to trace Monero for a single purchase, on an older version of the protocol.
