Some talk about the privacy of the digital euro has been made. Some people said that your transactions are going to be tracked. Should an european worry about it? Would GNU Taler be a possible solution?

And it's not like the digital euro is some dream, it will become reality soon.

My biggest problem is that everything goes under the ECB, not to the national level central banks. The "they can see where and how much did you buy" is mute point, since they alredy could do that. And it's even worse when there are private companies that sell your info for profit.
