So dear European banks, who you force your customers to use apps from Apple/Google stores or-else, and didn't want to listen ever: what are you going to do now?

* binding your customers to US stores: illegal
* using those analytic frameworks: illegal
* using Apple/Google cloud messaging: illegal
* your apps: illegal?
* most of your branches: closed ("go online!").
* banking: how?

The shield got broken. Happy sovereignty!
