| What if I want to vote against both Apple and Google but still be able to do my banking business? |

| What banking business? Use a web browser, or just bank in person like everyone did not long ago. Carry a credit card instead of Apple/Google Pay. That's what degoogled Android users do and it's a very minor inconvenience anyone with a little bit of maturity should be able to accept. Also, cash is much better for your privacy. |

I use a dumbphone for "banking" (SMS)... and a credit card, and the website. Those are really all the 3 things I need to do banking, as you have said so correctly. | |

| ▲ | rootusrootus 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Choose a different bank, then. I've gradually stopped using the phone apps, not really by design but just because I don't often feel like that works better than the real web site. Both USAA and my local credit union have perfectly good desktop web sites. | |

| ▲ | esseph 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | More info on this is going to come out, but banks are going through hell right now with AI agents accessing user accounts and even firing off transfers and other accounts activity, and their legal teams are losing their minds. So a bank shutting down a website right now and the "forcing" some Google/Apple "verification" makes a lot of sense in that context. |

| You can bank without Apple iOS/macOS or Google Android/Chrome. You can also vote with your wallet regarding banking. Put your deposits in another bank. |

| When one party has a trillion votes and you have like 1000 or so, that is not voting. That is just exiling yourself. Edit: exiling not exhaling |

| ▲ | forgotaccount3 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | If an entity has a product that has a trillion people choosing it, the marginal benefit to society to build an entirely new product for 1000 people or so isn't worth it. The people whose time would be required to produce that second product for a very, very small 1,000 person market would better serve society by working on other goals. Nor should those 1,000 people get to try to use the government to tell the other trillion what product they should have to buy. |
