 🫠 they didn't even explain themselves, just said "i'm gonna take copy of this"

i asked "why do you need it?"

and that's the reason they gave me 💀

 i was updating a card from them, so that's why i even ended up at their office 
 Ah, now that we have you here, allow us to inspect your anus or we will lock you out of your online access.

Of course, purely optional. 🤗

 That's the rules now. It is unfortunate, but it's not changing back to normality ever again.

The way to handle this crap is to minimize the amount of your money that goes into that system as much as you can, and not obsess about it.

Pay as little taxes as possible, keep your bank balances at zero if possible. Stack sats.
