In fact, the #EU really needs to stop doing #ControlledOpposition shite like #wero and instead setup it's own, global #PaymentSystem that isn't a cheap domestic-only clone of #UnionPay, #Mir, #JCB or #AliPay, but actually working system leveraging #SEPA and being truly global.

- And that means denying the #USA access so it's Tripol (#VISA, #MasterCard & #PayPal) can't boss around EU companies!

(Didn't even notice that Amberol is AI coded, it's actually the best music player I found for mobile. Hopefully they won't make their policy even stricter and start to ban existing apps too)
(But the frustration with random low quality vibe coded apps is understandable of course)

@rustydev yes and the problem of the US-centrism wjen it comes to the 3 relevant credit cards and 2 big payment processors is a huge problem…

• Even if you ain't a regime like Russia and China who decide to mandate their own, domestic competition to be used domestically (in this case: Mir & UnionPay respectably)…
  • Cuz the US regime is known to nilly-willy commit economic murder on people just becaise they dislike them or their employers. Not because they did something wrong/illegal in their juristiction!

Meanwhile wero is a controlled opposition that can't be bothered to even properly fake their "Souvereignity-Washing" halfway…

• And the least worst option (not best!) is being criminalized because it's the closest to digital cash!
