In Australia some companies --banks-- are starting to refuse taking/using cash. Killing privacy, slowly. Most normies can't see how that and will be used to track you.
In Canada, the Feds changed the law 2 years ago. They can now lock you out of your bank accounts without a court order. Which was needed before.
In my social circle, aside my partner, I have only (1) friend who cares. No one else does. Lile at all. I get harassed as to why I an not on WhatsApp or FB by family.
