Very interesting, appreciate your knowledge. Thanks for the thorough explanation, I think I even followed most of it! Definitely share your concerns related to privacy/surveillance but I also look forward to the possibility for larger financial transactions to be working more smoothly on a personal level, while I agree that most regular people don’t need that too often, with inflation and the general state of the world nowadays I do find myself being aggravated by these arbitrary limitations more and more often.
Having watched Naza recently, for me, really drove home the real risks associated with data over collection by big tech / government. Seeing the very real connection between mobile phone telemetry data, and military strikes carried out during a genocide, is one of the extreme risks that can occur from such practices. I imagine similar programs/approaches are used by organisations such as ICE.
Government collects excessive information on people under the auspices of “risk management/mitigation” already. Building a system where they can see things like “Did they buy plan B?” feels like a really bad idea, unless there’s a really, really fucking good reason for the government and big tech to know that information. And by really good reason, I’d say it’d need to be demonstrably saving lives somehow, given the potential negatives.
