Why just Mastercard. ALL payment services are doing this. Everything from payment gateways, card brands, digital wallets (You really think google and apple aren’t logging every detail of your purchases). Seems a bit silly to just call out Mastercard.
The government is selling your financial data, which is a whole other level of fucked up since thats not something you can opt out of, at all.
Per the article, it seems Visa has already stopped this practice. I think they’re calling out Mastercard as the other top player in the consumer credit card space (I doubt Amex has quite the market dominance Visa / MC do, especially overseas).
They probably spawned a sub company who will take that over. No way in hell I believe they stopped this practice.
