Buy a book with cash. Read the book.
It's the other way around.
They have cameras in the bookstores with facial recognition
then don't go to those bookstores with cameras 🤦
not all bookstores have cameras
I was being facetious to make a point. There is a limit to the amount of privacy that one can achieve while still residing within a modern society. As with all things, it's a personal choice. Everyone has a limit up to which they are comfortable surrendering their privacy. You can be tracked and recorded even walking the streets in many cities, and in most retail stores. How far is one willing to go to be private?
Poor point poorly made
Ok, I'll give you that. But don't you agree there are certain aspects of privacy one must forego to live in a modern society?
Who does?
