When the Canadian Kimberly Prost learned Donald Trump’s administration had imposed sanctions on her, it came as a shock.
For years, she has sat as a judge at the international criminal court, weighing accusations of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity; now she is on the same list as terrorists and those involved in organised crime. “It really was a moment of a bit of disbelief,” she said.
That’s why we need an alternative to US credit cards yesterday. And also a spine transplant to politicians.
It’s not just cards. Many banks today require using a mobile app for online banking, and those apps require an Apple- or Google-certified device and an Apple or Google account. While it is possible to open those accounts under a false name (the apps are free so you don’t need to enter payment info), this is still an absurd amount of leverage the US has on everyday people’s activities in other countries.
Yes, that too. However, you have alternatives to Android to some degree that would allow a banking app to work. Nevertheless, we need a non-US operating system for mobile devices and so on.
Not if an app uses Play Integrity. The entire purpose of Play Integrity is to not work on anything that is not a Google-certified OS.
Yes, that’s why I said to some degree. I didn’t test it, but at least some banking apps work from what I hear. I plan to test it soon.
All my banks have apps but I haven’t found any that don’t support just a browser

Not only US credit cards, we also need online payment alternatives. And the most annoying thing is the google play services requirements for every single app, just like this one as an example
Try aurora store , iam on graphene
OS ,banc apps work
They isolate your app, right. That is good enough for me for an interim period.
It’s usually because they use Google for notification services
It’s weird, I don’t want to sanction an ICC judge. Let’s have a look why that is…
Hmmm, the only thing I can think of is that maybe it’s because I’m not an international criminal?
So, by that logic, anyone who sanctions an ICC judge must therefore be an international criminal.I’d like to know what the Canadian government and the EU are going to do about this.
What would be the ideal answer is for the ICC to turn around and make every complicit company legally international criminals.
Perhaps these actions will start opening people’s eyes to the lack of alternatives and to the massive power that controlling financial and technological tools provides.
ill be a judge and take these “punishments” where their Xitter and facebook accounts canceled to
Just cancel your accounts…???
woosh. I don’t have some of those.
Wouldn’t have this problem with Monero.
