No, not at all.

At least as many double vaccinated attend these rallies because they realise that tracking via QR code checkin, vaccine passports, manadatory vaccinations or you lose your job, mandatory boosters every 6 months, and the unvaxxed being banned from public life, are a huge assault on freedoms within our liberal democracies.

It all feels too eerily familiar to those dismissing privacy concerns because 'well if you don't have anything to hide you shouldn't be worried.'

As if vaccine passports and mandates etc would be used for anything not positive and helpful to the public...

But QR codes aren't being tracked. If I'm not mistaking, storing them is in violation of a bunch of laws. If not, such laws can be made. Privacy is hardly an issue.

Sorry I mean more in terms of attitudes towards protesting against increasing government authority. As in 'oh sure I suppose the government could use those powers in an authoritarian manner, but as if they would, so protesting is unnecessary.'

The police in Australia have made multiple attempts to access QR code data to track down criminals. So yes, privacy is always an issue.

Ikd about Australia. I should have added: "in the EU".
