Re: It doesn't even seem legal in any way
Imagine what they could do if we had a cashless society. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts even more... If we go 100% cashless, the powers that be will start trawling through all our financial activities with AI tools to look for "immoral" or "undesirable" behaviour... Heck they can even determine things like mental health status by looking at our transaction records. And nobody will be able to escape it. Because anonymous bank accounts are prohibited. Everything you do, tied to your real name, will end up being stored on a database. It's only a couple of decades away, at this rate. If it's not stopped by public outcry.
