Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A public agency proposes two policies: protecting private financial details against unauthorized exposure, and permitting identity disclosure under valid cybercrime warrants with statutory requisites. A critic says confidentiality serves economic confidence only if all law-enforcement identification is blocked. Which analysis follows EastWest Rural Bank and RA11765 Section2?
  1. The policies can coexist: financial privacy supports confidence, while defined lawful identification permits cybercrime enforcement
  2. The statutes require every depositor’s identity to become publicly searchable
  3. The critic proves that all cybercrime warrants are void
  4. Financial stability requires denying every consumer privacy right
  5. Financial privacy exists only where no electronic service is used
