This week, both New Zealand's major banks, ANZ and BNZ, announced the introduction of mandatory device-level surveillance stating: “You will not be able to use our app or internet banking without consenting to this data collection.” To continue to use digital banking, customers must consent to the collection of: * Detailed behavioural biometrics including typing cadence, swipe pressure, scroll patterns, mouse velocity, navigation patterns * Device sensor data * Connected device information * Device motion/tilt data Thank you ANZ, BNZ for the free "why you need Bitcoin self-custody" tutorial.
