I’m trying to use my phone less and less. Ideally I’d like to even switch a dumb phone.

But tactics like this will make that nearly impossible if every website starts requiring a QR code scan on a authorized smartphone.

Which means, it's urgent that more and more people realize there are alternative to the everything-on-the-phone situation they live in. And that owning one is not mandatory and should not be (by the way, politicians should also wake up).

Tactics like this will make me get a dumb phone and stop using those websites. If that means no more credit cards, online shopping, etc so be it. You have to draw the line somewhere.

“if every website” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
