Cash payments aren't the easy win you think they are. The system has to know where the money was paid from and when, at which point you just go back to the CCTV.
Any system that relies on a UID is trackable, it just depends how much legwork you're prepared to put in.
- wuiheerfoj 3y agoThat’s also true of any digital means, and watching CCTV doesn’t scale well. Adding that legwork is precisely why cash is a win
- brightlancer 3y agoChina has proven that no one needs to "watch" CCTV, because the system will automatically identify everyone in the camera frame. That still requires more resources than mobile app tracking, and it's easier for people to disguise themselves against a camera rather than mobile app tracking, so mobile app tracking is the greater current threat. But CCTV identification will improve and it will be harder to fool, so I don't want that either.
