It's absolutely not discrimination and you're harming people by making such an absurd claim. Unreliable SMS delivery is not discrimination. This is how things end up on Fox News: "Is website security now discrimination?" > I still think they have a good chance in court Can you share the law you think was violated?

People love to eagerly advise litigation while remaining ignorant that a five-figure retainer is required to even get started on such a process. And in the end, it's still a gamble that you may lose your case.

  Yep, but in this case lawyer might try to make it a class-action lawsuit and work for a percentage. Up to the attorney, of course, if they are will to risk their time on that.

I'm not sure where "absolutely" comes from. I'm not an attorney to make assured statements, I can only guess. I'm not talking about unreliable SMS delivery, I'm talking about banks not accepting other options like passkeys, software/hardware OTP keys which are more secure than SMS, thereby discriminating a whole class of people "living in the mountains".

  You don't have to be an attorney to be absolutely sure only providing SMS is not discrimination. > I'm not talking about unreliable SMS delivery Why? That's what this is about. Everyone, including hill people, have the same problems with the same technology. Ergo, not discrimination. > I'm talking about banks not accepting other options like passkeys, software/hardware OTP keys which are more secure than SMS I'm going to sue Apple for not adding satellite to my iPhone. It's discrimination that when I go into the mountains, I don't have reliable coverage. See how silly that is? > I'm not an attorney Then why are you confident about the outcome of court cases?
