Banking and other finance related services are the only place where I don’t mind KYC. Others I drop as soon as they request it and I seek alternatives.
But I will drop my online bank as well as soon google enforce the ‘only verified developer applications’. 90% of my applications, incuding system applications like laucher, are not installed from the play store. I plan to switch to a linux ‘phone’ and only use services which are usable from a browser / without google securnet.
The thing is usually for the bank account you have gone through rigourous checks already to open or maintain and account to prove your age. So face verification via an app is redundant.
We know it’s bull anyway but it’s at least a valid reason for no.
I’m the same as you. I’ll switch to browser and TBh if they piss me off enough I’ll start using cash
Someone else in here said the laws are confusing age verification for identity verification. If anything, I’d be okay with identity verification for banking as an additional check. (Plus my bank already knows what I spend money on)
I’m currently pushing back against discover requiring me to upload my ID to log in to my account. The amount of support people I’ve gone through that have certified me without needing to upload anything has been my main argument against it, but “they’re still investigating”
