I’m just pondering the size of the disconnect between being worried about exif data, and not batting an eyelid in giving your personal banking data to a communist state–run corporation.
Apropos of your username: ”Chequebook Jerry!”
We give our data to the Western governments and security agencies constantly. There is an odd disconnect in that people assume we are inherently better than them.
Besides, “they’ve” all my personal info anyway. (If we are going down that line)
China doesn’t have GDPR is the short response to that.
China actively monitors its citizens and does inhumane things with those whose politics and religion it doesn’t like, is the bigger response.
China is very different to UK and EU governments and anyone who thinks they’re remotely similar is objectively wrong.
It’s not that odd really. There are far more protections in the UK and Europe than in China. I’m surprised this has to be said.
The card could be gold plated and I still wouldn’t sign up to a Chinese bank.
Security agencies don’t follow that. Mass surveillance networks and programmes don’t follow that.
Is that the new one?
Yeah think so Private Debit Card | Coutts Bank
Yeah it is. My dad has got the older one.
I have that along with the silk charge card.
Although HSBC Private works well for me as my main account, as it has no annual charges like the Coutts account.
I have only retained the account, as I can’t be bothered to leave and then have to go through the entire process again to rejoin the bank.
Oh all these cards I’ll never be allowed to have
Someone (wealthy) marry me?
I think that card design has definitely grown on me. The colours work well together and the whole design feels like it could be part of painting in an art gallery
It was designed from art lol
Yep, read that after I commented
Although it does mean that they were successful in their aim. It looks like what they wanted it to!
Wow that Santander card could be bad if you had Trypophobia potentially.
All very true, until your battery runs out.
