Your right only a surveillance tool which can lead to restrictions if one has been earshot of a positive case even though vaccinated.
What a load of nonsense.
If your familiar with the words decency/good manners and the psychology connected with those words [and I am sure you are] you would realise that you just cannot say that another persons thoughts or feelings are nonsense [or rubbish... as a few on here like to fling around].
We are all entitled to think and feel what we do, whether we are right or wrong.
As a mod on here I would have thought one of the requirements to be a mod is that you show posters **respect**, no matter how wrong you feel they are.
I suggest in future you say "I disagree very strongly" or similar.

Yeh but this is a footy forum and we're tough guys so crapping on other peoples feelings and thoughts is allowed.
Correct?
He might think its nonsense?
Indeed I do, I mean people need to seriously have a good think about how much in the way of resources the government has if they think they've got the resources to conduct surveillance on you based on QR code usage. It just isn't feasible...
Here is one serious issue with location data, and QR codes could just as easily be used in this way (though I am not suggesting they are at the moment):

The Gov already know everything about you .. if you have a Medicare card / driver license/ TFN you are not hiding much .Who cares if they know I went to the Sportys at Bankstown .
Maybe men might not like them knowing there in the local knock shop in case the partner finds out !
The story in the link was about location data being used in a dragnet way, leading to innocent people being treated as suspects in investigations based on that.
Good to see a lot of logical conversation has returned to this thread. Quality stuff.
These are all interesting concepts in their own ways and creepy. Not what I initially bought this up for which is relating directly to QR codes are they are used for Covid mitigation and the idea one could face relative house arrest if at the wrong place at the wrong time being in proximity to a positive case as I mentioned in my previous post.
However what you bought up is true. In the not too distant future with quantum computers, AI and 5G and the internet of things any surplus identifiers and information we give to the government could create issues at the very least give rise to conspiracy theories.
And as I mentioned in a previous post with link ,Professor Spurrier the CMO of SA wanted QR codes for check in to remain after the pandemic for "future pandemics ".
No wonder some people have conspiracy theories.
But as I said it's off topic but connected in a loose way
Professor Spurrier also suggested South Australian AFL spectators should not catch the football when kicked in to the crowd for fear of germs and covid
Not real bright that one
