> Except now I’m supposed to show a digital vaccine record many places I go. Not many open source options exist for reading them either, so I’m just supposed to trust that the data (name, birth date, maybe location) isn’t being sent to some marketing analytics company somewhere.
If you think vaccine passports are bad just wait until you hear about all phones...
- isoskeles 5y agoSorry bud, I can turn off my phone. I can leave my phone at home. My phone carrier doesn’t sell my location, they just give it to the police if I commit a murder.
- void_mint 5y agoSorry bud, you can avoid events that require vaccine passports. You can move to deeply conservative states that share your views. Tell me again how it's different.
- isoskeles 5y agoOh I bet you use that same dipshit logic when discussing homeless people being told to move somewhere cheaper.
- void_mint 5y ago> Oh I bet you use that same dipshit logic This amount of disrespect is unwarranted. > when discussing homeless people being told to move somewhere cheaper. What an absolutely insane whataboutism. This has nothing to do with what we're discussing and you look like a joke. You're asserting that vaccine passports infringe upon your freedoms. Just don't go to those bars. Jesus.
- isoskeles 5y agoPlay the victim after telling me to pack up my life and move states. Fuck off.
- hunterb123 5y agoWhat if the city like NY ordered ALL bars to stop you for your papers. Now you can't go to any bars. That hurts minorities the most as they are the most unvaccinated. Its new world segregation essentially. But yes those people could just pick up and move, and many are. Look at the numbers. Unfortunately many cannot because they aren't on a SWE salary.

- hunterb123 5y agoOkay? What's your point? So was slavery. The point is it violates rights now. SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS! (you guys are the nazis)
- void_mint 5y agoWhat rights? Businesses have the right to refuse service. Governments have always required vaccine verification. This is just whining. There are no rights implications here. Also calling me a nazi isn't really appropriate, I don't think.
- hunterb123 5y agoIs it though if the government is forcing businesses to check it? If you're okay with forcing people to show their medical history to drink, I think you can handle a word being thrown at you. Nazi.
- void_mint 5y ago> If you're okay with forcing people to show their medical history to drink, This is the obvious troll. You're not forced to show anything _to drink_. You're forced to comply with a business's requirements as per their rights, to be allowed to drink _in their establishment_. Also please go back to reddit if you cannot resist the urge to call names.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoI don’t really see what this has to do with vaccine passports (Louisana has a nice app for it, digital drivers license, proof of vaccination checked against a state database) but phone carriers do sell real-time location data to third parties. They were fined a pittance for it: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/fcc-issues-wrist-slap-fines-to-carriers-that-sold-your-phone-location-data/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/fcc-issues-wrist...
