“if we give our data to companies, the wealthy will rule.

If we give our data to governments, we will end up with some form of authoritarianism.

Only if the people keep their data will society be free.

#Privacy matters because it gives power to the people.”

— Carissa Véliz, “Privacy is Power”

File under: Privacy is a basic human right, on constant assault by #BigTech.

Today I learned that several #Android apps have decided to ban the use of "non-Google" approved OSes.

Post by @Sunny@slrpnk.net on #Lemmy: "Revolut, McDonald's, and Authy have banned the use of GrapheneOS"

I find this really troubling. I don't care about McDonalds or Authy. But banking! I'm a Revolut customer and I was considering switching to a Pixel 9 with #GrapheneOS. This is chilling.

@_elena@mastodon.social @Sunny@slrpnk.net One option to get around that is to use your browser to sign into your bank. It's not as convenient but it works well enough. Have you considered that option?
