Privacy@lemmy.ml•What dystopian surveillance things from your country you can't escape?
2·10 days agoit’s so dystopian when I travel to countries where cashless vendors are a thing. Recently Germany took me by surprise, they have been a bastion of cash for a long time, and during my last trip there were many restaurants with “no cash accepted” signs. Just like in the UK or Norway where privacy is already a lost cause

It’s fine as one of the options, but if there’s no option for tokenized identity (that’s easy to change when the plan runs out) and anonymous payments, it’s a data collecting operation like any other.
