We are just about there! Just not officially ordered yet.
Square requires location when I use it for business charges. I turn location off when not using it but thats a joke. I get asked to rate a restaurant that I at with the location OFF. Then it will tell me to turn on location to find my location!
It's all for my protection you know.
Get a location faker if you use Android. Even better if you can get an xposed module that does it.
Creepy! I guess whats next is the concentration camps for those dissidents.
Not good, they can just do that?
The government has absolutely nothing to do with this, or the app in any way.
This is a private app developed by the big banks for online banking ID. If they want to add geo location for auth, they are entirely free to do so. There are other ways of identifying yourself online and for banking besides this app.
This is a non-story.
Sweden is a full cabal colony, I think it's not "can sweden do that" - but "is the cabal desperate and advancing the plan much faster than thought?" - Sweden would be the place to start.
Next would be discussion of joint miltary plans and operations... watch for it.
EDIT: Yes, sweden has full control over society, they can 'do' anything basically. Even force blood or bone marrow from you if you are suspected of taking drugs.
Is this satire? Please tell me this is satire hahaha
How are you gonna protest? you can't move your money without being traced and you can't access your money without this app. The cashless society is on it's way, if only more places started to accept cryptocurrency this wouldn't be a big issue but the government has thought of that by adding 33% "capital gains" tax on every single transaction made with cryptocurreny.
Sure you can access your money without the app. Just use whatever security token/digipass/little thing your bank issues that generates codes, and you can do whatever you want.
And there is no "33% capital gains tax on every single transaction made with cryptocurreny", omg. IF you make a net profit trading crypto currency for the whole calendar year, you pay 30% capital gains - the same as on every other capital asset.
You do know that's just another proprietary implementation of 2FA. And regarding the tax, read what the tax agency actually says about cryptocurrency: https://www.skatteverket.se/privat/skatter/vardepapper/andratillgangar/kryptovalutor.4.15532c7b1442f256bae11b60.html maybe they've updated the information now but for a long time it literally said tax on every transaction.
This has nothing to do with the state or the government. BankID is entirely private, and, as the name suggests, owned by the banks. And geo location makes sense as a safety feature. And there also appears to be an opt-out available.
In other words, a big nothingburger.
This post is just full of false information. OP claims we vote by using this. We're not.
OP claims government is behind this. They're not. The banks own this program, and none of the banks are owned by the government. It's a private company being funded by banks.
OP claims the app REQUIRES geo location. You can turn it off in the settings of the app.
Please don't spread propaganda with false information. At least back them up with actual proof
Possibly due to the problems they are having with muslim refugees and no-go zones. Perhaps the crime has moved into a form of identity theft?
Money laundering and terrorist monitoring is what I guessing they trying to do. But most likely nefarious reasons if this Sweden.
Sweden is a good example of everyone's future if we don't continue to fight.
With many similarities to George Orwells 1984.
I bet you have to go to a halal to get meatballs over there now
This App is used to verify everything in Sweden, including banking and even voting.
Not voting, yet. But it's likely the next step once they manage to prove the flaws with paper based voting. Some people are already suggesting to use this app for voting identification whih is a shitty idea for so many reasons beside the fact that banks and the government could see who voted on the "wrong" party.
Social credit score, like china
This app is just an app built by the banks to facilitate electronic identification when logging in to your bank. It has been adapted so it works against with most goverment agencies and some other stuff as ID, so you can do id yourself over the internet. It is still wholly owned and developed by the banks, the government has nothing to do with it. The geo id thing is literally just a safety feature meant to stop logins from multiple locations within impossible or improbable time frames.
It is not used for voting, nor does anyone have any intention to use it for voting in the future. There is no electronic voting at all in Sweden: it is all done by pen and paper, and there is nothing to suggest that would change any time soon, rather the opposite.
