Le piège d’un monde sans cash
Le numérique cannibalise progressivement chaque recoin de notre quotidien, y compris notre portefeuille. La disparition du cash s’impose comme une prophétie autoréalisatrice. Le discours dominant nous promet une société fluide et sécurisée, mais il masque une vérité plus insidieuse : l’abolition du billet est une perte de liberté, une société de surveillance déguisée en progrès.
Mais derrière cette évolution, des fractures se creusent. Les populations rurales et âgées, les catégories sociales les plus modestes qui sont dépendantes du cash sont laissées sur le bas-côté de cette révolution. Ainsi, la numérisation du paiement est un révélateur de l’exclusion socio-économique plutôt qu’un vecteur de modernité universelle.
Comme l’a brillamment analysé Shoshana Zuboff dans l’Age du capitalisme de surveillance, le basculement vers une économie sans cash n’est pas une simple transition technique. Chaque transaction numérique enrichit les bases de données des géants de la tech, leur conférant un pouvoir exorbitant sur nos vies. En France, la CNIL a récemment alerté sur le danger des micropaiements traçables, qui transforment l’intimité économique en matière première de surveillance. La liberté du consommateur ? Un mirage dans l’ère de l’algorithme.
En Suède, pionnière du « cashless », près de 90% des paiements sont électroniques. Mais l’enthousiasme initial a laissé place à une désillusion : en 2022, le gouvernement a dû légiférer pour garantir un accès minimal au cash, face à l’impréparation des systèmes numériques aux cyberattaques. On oublie trop souvent qu’aucun système ne saurait prétendre être parfaitement sécurisé. Derrière la disparition des pièces et billets se cache un enjeu bien plus vaste : celui de notre souveraineté économique et démocratique. Accepter un monde sans cash, c’est ouvrir la porte à une société de contrôle intégral, où la liberté se paiera… sans contact.

#TECHNOPOLICE : LA FRANCE SUR LA ROUTE DE LA CHINE ?
Une population sous le regard permanent des caméras, où l’intelligence artificielle donne les moyens de contrôler les moindres faits et gestes de tout le monde, le tout entre les mains d’une police surpuissante, avec des pertes de libertés publiques inédites ? Pour Félix Tréguer, chercheur associé au centre internet et société du CNRS, la question se pose : https://tube.thechangebook.org/w/jX1iRje958BbNtbqpZi4va

"The open source project DeFlock is mapping license plate surveillance cameras all over the world."
"On his drive to move from Washington state to Huntsville, Alabama, Will Freeman began noticing lots of cameras."
"Once I started getting into the South, I saw a ton of these black poles with a creepy looking camera and a solar panel on top. I took a picture of it and ran it through Google, and it brought me to the Flock website. And then I knew like, 'Oh, that's a license plate reader.' I started seeing them all over the place and realized that they were for the police."
"Flock is one of the largest vendors of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) in the country. The company markets itself as having the goal to fully 'eliminate crime' with the use of ALPRs and other connected surveillance cameras."
"And so he made a map, and called it DeFlock. DeFlock runs on Open Street Map, an open source, editable mapping software."

“If voting could ever really change anything, it’d be illegal.”— Thorne, Land of the Blind (2006)
Despite the billions spent to create the illusion of choice culminating in the reassurance ritual of voting for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, when it comes to most of the big issues that keep us in bondage to authoritarian overlords, not much will change.
War will continue. Drone killings will continue. Surveillance will continue. Censorship of anyone who criticizes the government will continue. The government’s efforts to label dissidents as extremists and terrorists will continue. Police shootings will continue. SWAT team raids will continue. Highway robbery meted out by government officials will continue. Corrupt government will continue. Profit-driven prisons will continue. And the militarization of the police will continue.
The outcome of this year’s election changes none of that.

Tensions have further escalated after authorities last week imposed a social #media ban until November 11, a day after the #elections. The unprecedented move provoked outrage from #opposition groups and citizens, prompting the #government to overturn it a day later.

In short, the US spies on everyone, but their spying apparatus has been hacked by the Chinese. Who is the criminal here ? The US, of course.

“It is much more serious and much worse than even what you all presume at this point,” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark R. Warner (D-Virginia) said. “It is one of the most serious breaches in my time on the Intelligence Committee.”
The Chinese hackers, who the United States believes are linked to Beijing’s Ministry of State Security, have burrowed inside the private wiretapping and surveillance system that American telecom companies built for the exclusive use of U.S. federal law enforcement agencies — and the U.S. government believes they likely continue to have access to the system…

Why is my air fryer spying on me? Which? reveals the #smart devices gathering your data - and where they send it

The Aigostar air fryer wanted to know gender and date of birth when setting up an owner account, again for no clear reason, but this was optional. The Aigostar and #Xiaomi fryers both sent people’s personal data to servers in #China, although this was flagged in the #privacy notice.
Why must smart technology be in the #cloud - is the advantage of this only surveillance? 🤔
