It's similar to how PSD2 demanded specific payment flows and thus Google Pay was born - yeah they could have implemented it in a more privacy-friendly way (like Apple did), but they didn't - and EU demands the flows, so card-like payments without an online backend are no longer possible with your phone. Thanks EU!
- mdp2021 3y ago> no option to disable the behavior Actually, the directive specifies that the eCall must be implemented so that it cannot be disabled by the user but can be disabled by the manufacturer. > specific payment flows ... online backend Similarly, europe's demand that the feature of internet services are provided for all payment channels seems to be one of the reasons why channels that did not use NFC - simpler ones - have disappeared. Forcing the model "money can be taken from you without your actful, explicit consent", through radio-enabled cards. The european union has destroyed a good amount of civilization.
- throwaway69070 3y agoMy physical card doesn't need to be connected to a backend. My bank had an app that was able to work like a card - I could be offline and still use it. They had to cancel that app because of PSD2. Destruction of a good amount of civilization indeed! Now Google gets my payment data, I have to be online to pay with my phone, and I have to tolerate Google spyware on my phone instead of using a clean AOSP without any Google apps/services like I used to. Thanks EU, you're keeping my data safely in Google's hands!!!
