:This gets done anyways in the [[checkout counter]], by the store staff, thus getting the [[GTIN]] codes transferred en masse to your mobile terminal [[Checkout Consumerium]] will allow for you to download your [[list of things you bought]] to your home computer and view the [[Consumerium buying signal]] from there a posteriori and '''use this to change your shopping habits the next time you go to the store''' | |||
And it's a fantasy to believe that companies whose behaviour is exposed by the [[Consumerium Services]] as undesirable would not try to interfere legally. We would have to be damn sure of our data. This isn't a [[Wikipedia]] type wankfest of amateurs. This data is supposed to be reliable enough to bet on. The whole [[ConsuML]] proposal is about drawing on data from many sources to dump into [[Consumerium:intermediate page]]s, and hopefully not creating new data that would have to be verified by volunteers here. | And it's a fantasy to believe that companies whose behaviour is exposed by the [[Consumerium Services]] as undesirable would not try to interfere legally.
