QR code quackery

https://robert.accettura.com/blog/2012/12/11/qr-codes-compromised-by-stickers/
Criminals have realized that QR codes are not human readable and are taking advantage by putting up stickers featuring URLs embedded in Quick Response codes (QR codes) as a trick designed to drive traffic to dodgy sites.
It’s extremely simple to print out a sticker pointing to a bogus URL and put it on an existing billboard in a public place. A casual user simply uses the QR code and instead of going to the intended location



Oh No the humanity.....what will we do.
I call for an immediate ban of all QR codes along with also banning all URL shortners like Bit.ly and of course the physical removal of all NFC chipsets from all mobile phones.

Seriously you have to wonder how some people remember that they have to breathe.
