politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

no one can force you to follow a link you scan, that is not how it works.
the problem i see in this is that when someone is shooting you in the back, it doesn't help much that he is labeled with qr code.
This is why they should be disarmed, defunded, and dissolved.
They are enforcing paperwork. They need a pen, not a gun.
yeah. i mean step one should be banning them from wearing face mask. wtf kind of logic is that you are allowed to wear face mask and then they put qr code on you to compensate for that? they will just shoot you when you try to scan it and say they were afraid for their life.
Google and apple can, they could make it a convenience update. Lol https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/security/what-is-quishing/
I'm sure Palantir is motivated enough to find a way.
technique described on the link still requires you to actively open the link after you scan it.
I have seen phones auto-open scanned links, it was one based on android.
that is really bad application and you can choose some other. it is really not the norm. the point is this is not some universal vector of attack.
it is stupid attempt for a solution anyway, but not for this reason.
