Frequently there are debates in #Germany 🇩🇪 about the state of #digitalization claiming that it is taking too long. The complainants often criticize the speed of adapting new #technologies and #trends in comparison to other #EU 🇪🇺 countries.
I need to admit that other countries like #TheNetherlands 🇳🇱, for example, are further on the road. They are further on the road to abolish #privacy. Because since January you can't pay #cash 💵 in many shops.
Instead, #DigitalPayment 💳 services of #BigTech and affiliates are getting widespread involving the risks of #IdentityTheft, #MassSurveilance, and #Tracking. If you still only think about the convenience of leaving your wallet at home, think again and do some research. 🤓
