Cashless society

[Grassland Blue]

They could impose limits on how you spend on those things without data trawling now by imposing a ration stamp card for takeaways and cigarettes that you cannot make a transaction on those things without them and you have your card marked every time you buy a takeaway and cigarettes, and when you reach the weekly limit you can’t buy any more.

But they don’t!

Maybe they should though, since they are bad for your health?

The gov could just ban cigs, but think of rhe tax they'd lose....

The bar and the merch stand for Morrissey at The Empire last night was card only.

I suppose the people running those things can't nick the odd fiver.

Not strictly legal, although COVID brought in many loop holes, if they put up a price you can still pay by cash, within certain tolerances. But can you imagine your company buying the rights to your card information, finding out you had booze the night before you made a mistake at work or phoned in sick.

I can’t imagine that because it’ll never happen.

They know I went to see Morrissey. I talked about it.

Which law are they breaking?

I was just pointing out that your information is not your own, and how it can be used against you. there are a few companies in Britain that the terms and conditions of employment are access to your banking, and you can expect that few to grow as more information becomes available.

I'd be shocked if that were true, it's illegal.

Even the bank wouldn't allow it.

We all know it’s not true. Net nutters and their conspiracy theories.

It’s not illegal if you give permission. There are plenty of jobs in the security sector ( secrets act levels ) that check for blackmail risks etc.

A mate of mine got a job with one of the main security services and the interview process was insane. 6 months of background checks. Interviewed his whole family and his friend, financial checks, full deep dive into internet history, gambling checks etc.

Even 30 odd years Ago deep checks used to go on. A mates Dad worked installing high security phone exchanges. One day the security department was chatting to him about the fact his son ( my mate ) had come back into the country after living abroad. Thing is. He didn’t even know his son was back in the country at that point.
