This should be illegal that the government forces people into apps controlled by private, commercial entities. I call such a government corrupt.

Here in central Europe I can still access the bank website fine without smartphone. I need a physical device to yield a TAN though, but I can access and do online transactions fine. So I think something is wrong with the spanish government. People need to protest.

Or how about schools requiring parents to use WhatsApp to receive updates and information? Luckily my ex forwards to me the important stuff, but not everyone is as lucky to have an ex like mine ))

My bank still supports TAN codes with a device too. Unfortunately, once it breaks or the battery goes dead you cannot get a new one and have to use their app. Fortunately, their app works on GrapheneOS without issues.

Especially in Europe! They shouldn't be forcing you to run an OS from an American company.

Even the EU initiative Wero requires Google or Apple. You can't even use it on a desktop pc and you're not even allowed to have developer options on. Ridiculous. I've never seen any app that is so strict.

The DSA European digital wallet spec currently requires Google or Apple attestation, so not for much longer.

And that is mandated by the EU.
