YMMV but I don’t mind payment processors knowing my location. I’d choose that anytime over touching physical money (or having people who process my food touch it).
- sneak 7y agoIt’s not just the payment processors, it is also the federal government, who, via parallel construction, have the ability to lock you in a cage for years and effectively prevent you from ever leaving the country thereafter, should they ever desire to do so.
- redis_mlc 7y agoGoogle buys your payment stream, and can correlate that with your email, browsing and tracking history. Also other companies do this. You have to be a tool to do most of your payments with credit cards now.
- Hackbraten 7y agoCan you imagine that this could be actually a matter of personal preference? Some people may not use Gmail, or any free email services. Others use Apple Pay so the acquirer and bank cannot know what items you bought, and the merchant cannot know your credit card number. Finally, some people enjoy having a digital ledger so they know what they spent. Do you feel your harsh words are justified here?
