This is getting more hilarious by the minute. -the modern tech sector is a big scam at this point. -the personal data silos is archaic, and most of the time kyc isn’t necessary.

-the idea of proof of vaccination seems like a bad idea in that the ease of creating a faked proof has much much larger Societal consequences compared to a fake id a teenager uses to get booze.

I think I’m in Favour of the idea, that if your not interested in personal vaccination, certain areas have restricted access. for the sake of human... economic... protection.

Down voted,really? explain

you upped the jargon for expressing an opinion.The KYC is indeed necessary because people will fake these.

You mixed up a technology whine, with politics, in one sentence. Unpack things a bit and you might have got less downvote.

I want to travel. The sector needs a reboot.

I want a vaxx QR code tied to me, which has good fake protection which lets me travel. I am not stupid (very, maybe a bit) and I know there are all kinds of complications. but, we've had yellow fever "passports" forever and they work: they help prevent wildcat breakout of yellow fever in tropical climates.

Australia down-voted a health card 30 years ago (the "australia card") on civil liberties grounds. Right now, I think it would be bloody useful. The online mygov ID is not actually badly done, and I know people who work in medical data structures, and how complex it is to structure health information to share even amongst health professionals.

I don't. Nor do I want to be micro-chipped like the family pet.

The article is not about travel, it's about gaining entry to an ice hockey match. It's in same realm as gaining entry to a restaurant or any local business.

Not everyone wants KYC enforced on basic human activity such as satisfying your hunger for dumplings or meeting a friend for coffee.

They claim it's a temporary measure at certain venues, but they claim a lot of things. "We're announcing a 2 week snap lockdown" was said hundreds of days ago here in Melbourne. Only the tip of the Untruth iceberg.

Australians have already been tricked into a mandatory MyGov account. You can't delete that online account like you can your social media. Technically it's fine, but the concept and heading is concerning.

The voting public have less and less say in these things, and the fog of a pandemic is perfect cover to introduce a range of new mandates, otherwise shelved for being too unpopular.

Some will call this paranoia, others due diligence or an integrity test / pub test. I don't think it helps to exempt things like an Australia Card from the pub test because you think it would be "bloody useful". That's inviting the Trojan horse in with full knowledge of what's inside, and being okay with it because of the travel permissions it grants you.

Fine. We want different things. Like I said I know people in health informatics, they're professional and highly motivated about improving health outcomes. This isn't a simple black or white good or bad space and it's not (in my view) a boil the frog slowly moment either. That said, I distrust the L/NP and Dutton especially, regarding PII.

I don't want to go back into indoor dining and venues with whackjob libertarians breathing all over me. If you want to avoid governments, get vaccinated and prove it somehow or stay outside. I'm voting for parliaments which impose societal controls on stupidity, the state has you from birth with a blood sample and footprint.

This doesn't require anyone to change their behavior but you.
