So if you're permabanned by Google and Apple (which isn't that far-fetched) you're out of luck?

- kingcharles 5y agoYes, at this point I guess you'd have to just visit your bank branch to conduct transactions, or perhaps phone banking. I remember once when my bank didn't trust me enough to even have a debit/ATM card and forced me to go into the branch and queue up and show ID just to get my own money out of my account.
- CGamesPlay 5y agoI wonder if such a ban would give you legal grounds to prosecute Apple and Google for preventing you access to these digital services?
- ar_lan 5y agoBut these services are forcing you to use Apple/Google - Apple/Google aren't imposing that requirement. If anything it'd probably give better grounds to prosecute the services that require Apple/Google.
- vorpalhex 5y agoYour suit would be against eg your bank for failing to provide you obtainable access, but you are likely to find it not a winnable case if you've signed any sticker contracts.

The real issue is that Apple forbid side-loading and their Android app uses Google Play Services. They should remove the dependency on Google Play Services, and probably publish the API details for any enterprising Linux nerds that want to make an app. If they did those two things I don't see any grounds for complaint.
