Patronscan wants cities to require bars to scan your ID with its service so it can maintain a secret, unaccountable blacklist

A couple of weeks ago I went to a restaurant where I made the reservation by phone and never gave them an email address. When I got home I had email from a company I’d never heard of with a copy of my dining receipt (unrequested). The email address they used is not in any way connected to the credit card I used.

I complained, because I think without complaining some of these companies might not even know they did anything someone might consider offensive, but it seems to be too late to reign in Big Brother.
