A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

I signed a mortgage with a bank that was a 37 hour drive away before. One of my current banks is a mere 9 hour drive to the nearest branch.
It seems really weird to have any functionality that's available on an app but not a website. Usually the app is stripped back to cover just the common website functions. I say this as a developer who writes both finance web frontends and mobile apps.
Weird? Yes. Surprisingly common? Also yes. My bank is the exact same way - cannot deposit checks via their website. Must be in person or use their mobile app. It's really irritating.
