Apple privacy letter (Law enforcement through your phone)
Gregg:
It is only a short step further for these bots to start looking into financial discrepancies to report to the authorities as evidence of criminal activity. Follow the money; I wouldn’t be surprised if governments reward large internet connected companies for this type of activity while legislating loopholes for corporate financial discrepancies.
This “save the children” approach is merely practice for the big picture.

That's already the case in some countries. If you think what happens on your bank account(s) is private, well, you're in for some disappointment.

Yes they do that already. Try transferring large amounts of cash without attracting attention.

Alright we're heading towards a surveillance state.
But having a megacorp in charge of deciding what to look at, what is acceptable, who to go after etc. will never work. Just look at Youtube and Amazon screwing over the people.
Censoring social media alone is a battleground where you can do nothing if you feel your rights were trampled. Rights that are dictated by the corporation who puts profit first in its values.
I'm turning chinese because at least Xi is busting up monopolies and keeping things away from sheer greed and profit- instead of being for the people.
The common man gets investigated for transferring large amounts of legit money, but the politicians and crooks are protected. Trump has $102M already in his war chest. Would the Apple Police do a single thing here?

Yep. In France, there is a system called "Tracfin". Banks and financial organizations are required to report suspicious money movements and are pretty much free to use any way they see fit to do this, of course including AI. The number one criterion is the transfer of large amounts of cash, as you said, but the current definition of large for warranting a report might surprise you. And, even large transactions, not by cash, are monitored.
I'm pretty sure many countries in the world have similar systems these days.
