I was in a cafe the other day. They had some QR code based ordering system. After we'd chosen what to order, the system asked for my phone number. Stupidly I entered my number correctly. I can't prove that they sold my data, but I've gotten about 3-4 spam texts via imessage since I was in the cafe. > Does it mean you will miss out on things that make life easier, faster, healthier, cheaper etc..? YES it does! I don't think having my data passed around between multinationals is ethical, necessary or value adding in any way. At least not value adding to me! The cafe experience was totally fine when I ordered via a menu. And it works fine via our phones without the part where my privacy data gets sold to soulless companies for a few pennies. Honestly I think the EU has the right of it in banning this stuff outright. Its disgusting, non consensual and sociopathic. Everyone involved should be ashamed of yourselves.
