| > where I'm opposed to talking to my doctor because the information may be digitally recorded and leaked Let me say "Hi mate, +1". State doctors? There are territories in which a pharmacological prescription is shared DB only now (where previously they could be on paper - a secret between you, the pen, the paper, the pharmacist and the gods). Private entities? Good luck finding one that does not require a privacy waiver as a condition for the visit. Searching for a medical dock (a dock for a doc), calling them to ask? "This is a recorded message. If you proceed with the call then you agree..." (Hang-up click). |

| >previously they could be on paper - a secret between you, the pen, the paper, the pharmacist and the gods Excuse me? If you weren't paying with cash whoever paid for the prescription (govt, insurance) has a record of it. The pharmacy that filled the prescription has a record of it as well as the doctor who wrote it. |

| ▲ | mdp2021 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | > cash How can you presume we do not pay with cash?! How can you remotely suppose one sane mind would not use cash for all sensitive private transactions - books, medicines, preferential (profiling) products etc.? We use cash in general because nobody in Dignity would accept their own daily matters to be recorded and given to multiple untrusted parties¹, not to mention potentially retrievable by even more untrusted parties - of course the matter is much more evident for all transactions over confidential items! (¹EU here: 12 public-hybrid-private DBs as per the PSD2 legislation.) | | |

| ▲ | mdp2021 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | We know you are not an outlier, it is a grave issue that you are not an outlier. Are the elements in your set aware of what they are doing? | | |
| ▲ | bookofjoe 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | I/we know and we don't care. | | |
| ▲ | mdp2021 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | > we don't care And why did you post that replying to mine, what is the message? We knew that you in the cashless are many. Is it a cry for help - as you know what you are doing but cannot care? Ok: reread the "Book of Joe", which obviously you have heard of, and take your side. Both of them, really: one for morals, one at least for the mentions of the beast requiring its mark for transactions. |
