So just fuck anyone who doesn't have a smartphone I guess. And of course it's gonna be in the US by 2040.

Nah, it won't.

Black people exist.

They can definitely get IDs, they aren't stupid, but a vast preponderance of them are illiterate.

Maybe I am a fool but I think this is still the breaking point. It would be too easy to bring the whole thing down with "your honor, my client was not able to consent to the terms and conditions because they are illiterate."

It just warms my heart to think the globalists are retarded because they never account for the morons

voter id is racist because black people can't get ids. Also, we must switch to digital id for payments!

Wait until you realize the Dems aren't being inconsistent, they just assume every black person is in the system and therefore this won't apply to them.

They certainly seem to be working hard to manufacture them.

There are already a bunch of stores I can't order from online (in Canada) because of visa's two-factor authentication. It requires you receive a code on your smartphone to authorize your order, and I don't have one.

I'd sooner freeze to death homeless than participate in this mark of the beast system, though I suppose that's what they want of the non-compliant anyway.

Meanwhile the EU already mandates all online stores based in the EU to implement 2FA on their payments(and almost every merchant has implemented 3D Secure).

It requires you receive a code on your smartphone to authorize your order, and I don't have one.

Visa/Mastercard's 3D secure implementation only provides a gateway to the bank's systems(or at least that's how it works for me, I get shown my bank's landing page where i'm asked for credentials/confirmation within the app), how a transaction is confirmed is up to each bank. My bank(it's an EU one) has a fallback on SMS+a password you set with the bank in case you don't have their app.

Sometimes the Skype phone number works for this. You can buy a number for a year and use it for things like that, without needing a smartphone. Just use your PC to login and check for messages and other stuff like that. Of course, the downside is that you have to give money to Microsoft for the number.

Possibly a retarded question, but what can be counted on in the present or future to make sure a real human is making a valid order?
You can fake some kinds of physical cash. The dawn of supercomputing may make 16 digit cards (plus 3 cvv) obsolete. There are some current issues with bots making purchases for high demand items such as concert tickets. Obviously there will be problems that come from some biometric data, too (3d printed thumbs, anyone? Or 'member Gattaca? Or what happens if your data changes because of some injury?). Stuff's kinda messed up seemingly any way you go.

I saw a woman use face ID on her phone to pay and it creeped me out.

Just a hypothetical, throwing it out there, nothing related to reality..

Would this make the price of eyes and fingers increase on the organ 'free market'? /s

Nah. What will increase is nigs now asking you at knifepoint to enroll their fingerprint/face before stealing your phone so they can actually pay for shit with your card. And given it's europe, well no guns to defend yourself

Welp my guess is it will work like Apple Pay. They've just announced they would allow apple pay to work outside of Apple devices/browsers by showing you a code you could scan with your iPhone to pay for shit through Apple Pay.

But 2030 is too far in the future, so we don't know how much freedom of implementation is in the banks for their customers and payment providers like Stripe for the merchants and how janky the whole shtick will be.
