Sweden's campaign to push everyone into using digital payments is unjust, since it tracks all the transactions. It has also boosted fraud. If Sweden was using #GNUTaler for digital payments, instead of BankID, that would fix both problems. A Taler payment never reveals the payer's identity, and does not enable fraud against merchants.

@fsf why do you need "private payment"? Sweden Swish shows the bank ID of the recipient account, no scam with fake transactions.
For crime you can use cash :)
