So users & the public can't audit the code. The bank is also untrustworthy. Perhaps you can trust your EU bank, but US banks are like a fusion between surveillance capitalism & police agencies. The only way to have a fighting chance at a trustworthy app is if it's signed on .

Where I bank is sensitive information. It has value, most especially to debt collectors, hackers, and adversaries. Hackers would love to have that info not necessarily to attack the acct but to write a convincing ransom demand. Google ties downloads to identities. The app can only be exclusively jailed in a walled garden if the source code is secret (and it is).

Something that's been bouncing around in my head a lot during the past few months is a quote (attributed to Franklin Leonard - goodreads.com/author/show/1771) “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” Which, I think, goes a long way towards explaining why the US is imploding right now.

One thing on my project list: a Universal Product Catalog. Find a product on the site, and the site will link you directly to all the places you can get it (online and/or local to you) -- the actual product pages, where possible -- eventually with crowdsourced ratings of each source, along various metrics including ethicality.

The Internet was built as a kind of decentralized democracy. Change is slow and messy but it protects us from a single entity forcing their will on us.

When you move your data and social graph to a closed platform you vote for authoritarian rule.

Such choices never end well.
