Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅New idea: Neobank specifically for digital sovereignty, from the app running on Linux/without SafetyNet and other nonsense to the servers running on local infrastructure

Obviously the only real "fix" for this is a regulatory one that declares SafetyNet a monopolistic control mechanism, which it is. But also, with fintech stuff getting easier and easier, I wonder if creating at least an open _banking_ app should be possible. Yes, various countries require push-based 2FA, but nothing locks you into Google/Apple here on Linux. I wonder how the payments situation would be ...
Marco Mastropaolo@pojntfx 100%. But I doubt there's any incentive in regulation of SafetyNet, especially in the current era of governments pushing towards more tracking, more identification, less freedom.
