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?

…and passwords

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 19 points 2 months ago

Many? Not for one

[-] diablomnky666@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 months ago

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

Usernames Passwords hunter2 hunter2

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 months ago

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

[-] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago

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.

And so should FSFE.

How come there's never a name attached to these things.

[-] listless@lemmy.cringecollective.io 12 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 82 points 2 months ago

Man, the payment processors got bored with NSFW and they're attacking free software now?

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 35 points 2 months ago

They attack everybody that isn't a bootlicker

[-] lastlybutfirstly@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

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

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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 19 points 2 months ago

Because Jerboa doesnt support that and not even the Lemmy WebUI had an obvious way to do this

[-] Nickelalloy@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

Now I am a monthly donor!

Thanks for sharing.

[-] pmk@piefed.ca 3 points 2 months ago
[-] BenjiRenji@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

Yearly, but yes!

[-] exu@feditown.com 27 points 2 months ago

For the future; Lemmy has a perfectly functional cross-post button.

[-] pantherina@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago

Send a screenshot please. I never managed to do that

[-] exu@feditown.com 20 points 2 months ago

Here's how it looks in the Lemmy web ui

Fuck payment processors use crypto

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Considering every crypto exchange nowadays has KYC, it's not that much better.

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Actually, there's still stuff like localmonero and bisq which were non-KYC when I last checked, but your point still stands.

[-] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 months ago

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 points 2 months ago

Retoswap, LocalMonero, and Bisq dont

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

No need to use an exchange.

[-] Goldenring@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago
[-] x3lz@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

why do you think that. i personally disagree but will upvote for the constructive criticism

[-] DillDough@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] qwerty@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

getmonero.org

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That's some rice field level bullshit

[-] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago
