Sony, in their infinite wisdom, defaults full data without the ability to choose a default, you can only deny upon plugging it in and it will eventually revert back to full data anyway

They are trying to get rid of cash here. Bancontact in the Benelux is literally trying to do away with all cash exchange.

They have paid ( I assume since it all happened within a few months across many banks)/caused hundreds of banks to simply not accept cash input anymore at their ATMs and take out their ATMs entirely and built entirely new Bancontact ATMs everywhere that don't accept any cash input, only output.

My girlfriend (cafe owner) has to drive 20 minutes to deposit cash income.

So essentially, they are trying to force businesses to not accept cash at all anymore if they make it inconvenient enough. Then everything flows through Pepol, and everything has to be paid via Bancontact and they will have a cut of literally everyone across multiple countries' income as profit doing nothing but bribing politicians and banks.
