Eugen RochkoI'm still pissed about how accepted surveillance capitalism is. In Germany there is this "payback" system where you identify at the checkout in shops and collect points you can turn into free shit. I'm still saying no every time the cashier asks me if I'm interested. I don't want anyone to datamine my shopping habits.
(Moved)@Gargron There's a "rewards" program like that at a gas station chain here. I participate, bc they only need an email address, and I give no other personal info. I can build up points, turn them in for big payout, then throw it away and get another card. It's still data collection, but I can be sure it's anonymized.
