Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.”

  A lot of banks require their personal apps as 2FA to access your account. I would never agree to that.

  Yes but you can’t motherfucker, don’t you understand that? In most of the world you have to use the app, you CANNOT use online banking without the bank’s app on your phone, it is the only way to sign in, there is no “home banking”, and you are not even allowed to enter a physical bank location on the high street without being intercepted by a ghoul telling you to use the app or fuck off, you cannot call the bank because they have no public number, you do everything via the app or you cannot do anything.

  Most of the time you don’t even have a bank card, just the bank card details in the bank app on your phone that are automatically added to Google Pay, and you use that because near everything is cashless and NFC.

    I don’t need to use an app to manage my bank account.

    Sounds like you people have shitty banks. Maybe it’s time to switch?

      Sure, come to México and tell me which local bank allows me to not use an app at all and I'll switch

        Why are you restricting yourself to local banks?

    I love how you are getting downvoted for getting frustrated with people who can't see beyond their own nose.

    I fully agree with you, these people just don't want to admit some of us don't have the privilege of choosing since all the options end up on forcing a banking app one way or another.
    Because it is a fucking privilege at this point.
