“This is another example of #BillPulte weaponizing his role to do Donald Trump’s bidding, instead of working to lower costs amidst a #HousingCrisis,” said Sen. #ElizabethWarren, of Massachusetts, the ranking #Democrat on the #Senate #Banking Committee. “His behavior raises significant questions, & he needs to be brought in front of #Congress to answer them.”

Lloyds Bank used data on account usage of staff who hold their bank accounts with Lloyds to assess whether they should get the pay rise demanded by their union.

So, if you're banking with your employer your privacy can be breached if it is in the commercial interest of your employer?

so, I'm sure this will prompt a legal challenge over invasion of privacy;

& a lot of Lloyds (and other bank workers banking with their employers) may be swiftly changing their accounts?

Aktuelle Betrugsmaschen

Nummer eins. Eine "Delta Inkasso" verschickt Zahlungsaufforderungen für angeblich noch offene Transaktionen, die aber in Wirklichkeit nie getätigt wurden. Da die Beträge nicht sonderlich hoch sind, mag man geneigt sein, einfach zu zahlen. Nein, Gegenwehr lohnt sich! Auch wenn es in unserem Rechtssystem schwierig bis unmöglich ist, Betrügern wie dieser Firma das Handwerk zu legen.

Nummer zwei. Weshalb steht schon wieder WhatsApp (WA) im Zentrum einer Betrugsmasche? Liegt das nur an der Verbreitung von WA, oder doch (auch) daran, dass viele, zu viele, Nutzer/innen von WA im Umgang mit der Technik zu unkundig sind? Oder daran, dass

Members of a pro-Palestine group - not one proscribed by the state - have had a personal bank account shut down.

This is chilling - both the fact that it has happened and the fact that it has happened without any explanation.

Even worse, it's clear that people aren't considered to have any right to an explanation despite the impact something like this has on their lives.

A financial institution can just shut down someone's bank account and say 'we have reasons' without having to state what those reasons are.

If you don't know why your account is being closed you can't challenge it because you don't know what you need to challenge.

And these people are not even members of Palestine Action.

Great article here. Brazil built a banking API for transfers and now Visa and other foreign companies are packing a sad because they can’t get a slice of every transaction. Turns out the Government solution is way better than existing APIs.

Some more quotes in next toot, or read entire article.
