The only thing that debanked me harder, across a myriad of services, than adopting #Bitcoin and voicing wrong think on Twitter, was adopting #GrapheneOS as my daily driver.
About half of my critical day to day services ban/froze/deleted my account.
The upside is that now I am on a far more defensible #SovereignStack.
If a service doesn't let me use privacy tools then the service gets canceled.
I live a very simple life now. 😂
Can you name and shame them?
Charles Schwab, Paypal, ATT, Uber, BoA. Can't get a passport. Rifles stuck at dealer. Background checks flagged. Can't fly on public airlines (I use private now).
There's more. This is off the top my head.
Graphene OS is my daily driver. What does the operating system of a phone have to do with debanking? From the perspective of most apps its just another Android phone.
I'm starting to feel like there's a case for running both.
I think disappearing from fiat land completely might draw unwanted attention.
I've not been debanked from services yet but also not migrated a few KYC apps to Graphene. I've still got a toe over there. Devices are getting old now though.
VPN is running on the router but not on those devices.
I forgot about PayPal.
Fuck them
Tradeoffs.
By front loading the pain, I maybe more of a target, but I'm also *a lot* more expensive to remote coercion.
The landscape is shifting fast. Being a frontiersman to freedom respecting services, jurisdictions, etc, is going to pay off.
That's my view at least.
