No idea, any idea why that would be wrong?
Nope. Was hoping this article enumerated a few, and made some sort of compelling argument to the contrary, but it didn't.
Yeah, I thought this post was going to cover potential security risks specific to QR codes. I’m not sure why there would be any ethical issues surrounding this question.
Coinbase had an ad during superbowl (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zLsUhOCqyU) which was just a QR-code moving around on the screen.

Afterwards Twitter was full of security people complaining this teaches people to scan random QR-codes, and that this apparently moved security awareness back several years.

I thought that by now "everyone" had seen this part of the discussion, but it seems like I was wrong and it was just my little Twitter bubble.

Thanks, that is a bit of context that non-USians (or in this case those that are not in a security-related echo chamber) are unlikely to know.
