Dont have one? The city will lend one out to you. If youre caught by police in the streets, you have to present your personal QR code with all your data.

Holy. Fuck.

Every mobile carrier on the planet tracks all their users locations to within at least 250 meter accuracy.

Well yeah, but theyre using tracking and QR codes with facial recognition cameras to find out whos breaking quarantine.

This is going to be the "new normal" for us in North America, sadly. It won't be going away after the virus does, either.

Ive seen the ratings and was wondering how they knew who was doing best at the quarantine. God damn.

What does a QR code have to do with anything? Are we supposed to be afraid of a machine readable number? What's in the QR code? Where are they? When are they reading them?


It contains your identification and other undisclosed information about Russian Citizens. Theyre on your phone, and if asked to present it to cops you HAVE to.

Russian government is gonna use this virus as an excuse for a power grab and will track citizens even after the crisis is over, you can bet on that.

You know that your phone also has an IMEI number and the SIM card on it has an IMSI number, right? And the phone company has a record of who uses that IMSI number? And records of the IMEI number of every phone that SIM card was in? And anyone who has your phone can view the IMEI number with a few key presses? And that the phone is basically screaming both those numbers out at all times?
But you're not required to have your phone on you at all times, required to present it to police as identification, or openly tracked. The government does not use that information against its citizens.

Sounds like the start of a cyberpunk dystopia, which I might be OK with, assuming we got enough cool future tech to justify it.

It shows they want to monitor their citizens safety and can protect them when needed.

US is doing that too but they're not "enforcing" it. They're just using the data to grade states/counties on how well they're following the quarantine. My county is rated a B while the state as a whole is like a C-.
