No it does not. It makes some things harder and some things easier. The public ledger means you can track where then money flowed - you might not know who had it but you know how it flows which is interesting. I don't know if it has happened, but I've heard of proposals to make any bitcoin the traces to some transaction illegal to have, and that means nobody who might get caught will have anything to do with those.
