There is nothing unreasonable about choosing alternatives for any of those.

- core-questions 6y agoSorry, are you telling people to simply "start their own payment processor"? Do you realize what kind of an ask that is?
- ilikehurdles 6y agoYou're not entitled to Square or Visa or Paypal or Mastercard payments. If you're reduced to cryptocurrency and cash, it is what is is. Profiting from your speech in one specific way over another is not enshrined in some code of human rights.

- heartbeats 6y agoWhat if you get a letter from the bank telling you to withdraw all your money and cough up the value of the mortgage in a week or be evicted?
- ilikehurdles 6y agoAnyone who would sign a contract that would give a bank that level of free reign over the terms of your mortgage is a pretty big fool.
- heartbeats 6y agoPretty much all personal bank accounts have a unilateral termination clause. I would be surprised to see a mortgage where the bank can't totally wreck you if they feel like it. Anyhow, you still need a bank account to get paid. If you can only work jobs that pay you in cash and don't need any access to bank accounts or the Internet themselves, that rules out 99% of businesses that could employ you.

- heartbeats 6y agoThat is about changing an agreement. The bank can fire you as a customer, pursuant to the existing agreement, usually without specifying a reason. This has happened in the past.
- ilikehurdles 6y agoOf course they can fire you. They cannot force you to pay up your full mortgage tomorrow or be evicted.
- Dylan16807 6y agoI think "ability to make a payment online" should be in the same category as utilities. Someone having to go cash-only is just as bad as if the power and telephone companies refuse to sell you service. It kind of is a "basic needs" problem.
- heartbeats 6y agoCloudFlare doesn't have many alternatives. There's VanwaNet, ddos-guard.net, and I think that's it. Should you start your own DDoS protection service too?
- yeetfaraway 6y agoThese people would cut the power lines to people they disagree with, so of course they will say yes. They see no separation between infrastructure and end user.
