> 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. > > Subsequently, we found ourselves unable to receive credit card donations through Nexi’s system. In the afternoon of 10 March, we were further informed that our contract had been cancelled a few days prior on 7 March, due to our supposed failure to meet their deadline to fulfil their request. This deadline was not communicated to us beforehand, despite us having been Nexi’s customer for the past 15 years. This is completely crazy! As 450 supporters are affected, that is a huge amount of donations that were cut off!

      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.

    Y tho. What in fuck does a payment provider have to do with asking for this?

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

      …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.

      Thank you, not sure why OP didn’t cross-post the original post here?

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