Over the past few months, our former payment provider Nexi S.p.A. (“Nexi”) requested access to private data, which we understood to be specifically the usernames and passwords of our supporters. We have refused this request. All our attempts to clarify Nexi’s request, or to understand how their need for such information was necessary and legal, were met with what we consider to be vague and unsatisfactory explanations relating to a general need for risk analysis.
Y tho. What in fuck does a payment provider have to do with asking for this?
FSFE should report them to the GDPR authority, but also financial ones.
The article says Nexi reached out after 'cancelling' the contract - meaning FSFE was financially offline for those few days. If it were a 'normal' business this was done to, they would sue for damages to hell and back.
I mean the name of the people who are originating these ideas. We should be putting names like who are the executives.
They get away with this stuff because they're faceless organizations or higher ups beyond consequences.
I just see so many systems in place that are there to allow these things to trample us and nobody in this generation challenges. Like the opposition to authority in this generation just seems like they're apart of the authority. They're also playing they're role.
How much you want to bet some billionaire bought them on the down low? Because they've been working fine with this FSFE for 15 years and now all of a sudden this is something that they require? It's very suspicious.
you can just not use them, there's still plenty of individuals willing to trade crypto for cash on decentralized marketplaces. You don't have to use the big exchanges just because they are big you know?

Um, excuse me? For starters they should only ever have hashes, but there is never a valid reason to ask for that many passwords.
Undertaker@feddit.org · 18 pts · 149d
Many? Not for one

Missed opportunity for them to troll Nexi and just send them:

Is this not against GDPR? I feel like this would be a slam dunk case.

And so should FSFE.

How come there's never a name attached to these things.
listless@lemmy.cringecollective.io · 12 pts · 149d
As in a name reporting the issue, or a name from the payment provider?
It's on the FSFE homepage if you need confirmation of the story: https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260316-01.en.html

Man, the payment processors got bored with NSFW and they're attacking free software now?
87Six@lemmy.zip · 34 pts · 149d
They attack everybody that isn't a bootlicker

Porn is always the canary in the coal mine when it comes to things like this and censorship.

My suspicion is that they either were pressed by government to demand that data, or they wanted to terminate contracts at fault of the client.

Thank you, not sure why OP didn't cross-post the original post here?
pantherina@feddit.org · 18 pts · 150d
Because Jerboa doesnt support that and not even the Lemmy WebUI had an obvious way to do this

Fuck payment processors use crypto
recklessengagement@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 149d
Considering every crypto exchange nowadays has KYC, it's not that much better.
onlooker@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 149d
Actually, there's still stuff like localmonero and bisq which were non-KYC when I last checked, but your point still stands.

entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf · 1 pts · 149d
They could choose to just not use crypto and shut the fuck up…
Or..
They could lose their entire goddamn minds over nothing because they haven’t touched grass or a vagina in 45 years.
parzival@lemmy.org · 3 pts · 149d
Retoswap, LocalMonero, and Bisq dont
swelter_spark@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 146d
No need to use an exchange.
x3lz@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 53d
True but decentralized exchanges do exist.

Lmao crypto failed at it's purpose before you even knew about it. Shit is centralized and monitored, it's the exact same as any other currency.

Depends on the coin, although all are decentralized to some extent. Some are less private than others.

You can send and receive payments without any third party involvement or permission.
