    If data security isn’t your top priority when it comes to where you put your money, we have nothing to discuss.

    This is a very privileged position to take.

    then complain that the bank, their parents probably chose for them when they were children

    A very uncharitable assumption

    Yes of course this problem needs regulation but that won’t happen if all consumers do is complain on useless forums instead of actually putting their money where there mouth is.

    You clearly do not understand how regulation is introduced. People moving to banks that already comply with a future/potential regulation does not bring about regulation.

    tells the bank you are OK with that. Its not fair but, most institutions prioritize convenience over privacy and security for their customers because that’s what they have shown they want.

    This is not how things work at all. How is the bank supposed to know why you switched to another bank or why someone is banking with them.

    I’m not sure why people are so offended that they might have to put in some actual effort

    It is for the most part not about the effort. You are expressing typical neoliberal “everything can be solved through the market” mentality. If people just put in the effort to buy the right product in the marketplace then everything will be alright.

    This will be my final response as we will probably never see eye-to-eye on this and I have better things to do with my time than engaging in pointless arguments. This is not what I joined this privacy community for.

      Lol This is a silly response to say the least but since all you wanted is to have the last word and not to have an actual discussion I won’t waste time writing a real response.
