   Did you know that associate members of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) who live in the US are eligible to join the Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) for their banking as one of the FSF's associate member benefits? https://u.fsf.org/42l https://www.fsf.org/associate/benefits

     @digitalRightsNinja @fsf Letting Cloudflare be MitM for any sensitive connection is really a no-go since they can literally read everything then.
     My (EU-based) bank tried that also once but obviously the protest was big enough that they stopped that pretty fast again.

     @fsf I’ve wondered what #FSF’s attraction to #DCU is based on. DCU’s app is proprietary closed-source and exclusively distributed in Google and Apple stores.

     It’s really a bad idea to use #DigitalFederalCreditUnion because their website proxies through #Cloudflare, a privacy abuser. For the moment, it looks like they only use CF for their sales site not the login host. But many CUs actually let CF be a MitM on their logins and sensitive financial transactions. DCU’s poor judgement could spill over to the transactional site at any time. #DigitalCreditUnion is not a good #CreditUnion to endorse.

     Also worth noting that Cloudflare is antithetical to software freedom, according to ¶2 of this article:

     Free Software Foundation repeated this.
