Problem: Bank wants to make more money. Solution: There is possibly some money stored in the customers bank account, use that

Do banks run like that? No. Do banks sell your details, your address, sign you up for random subscribtiona without your permission? No. Why should twitter get away with this

Go to your U. S. bank and get a mortgage, and after a month of emptying buckets of junk from your new mailbox, come back and tell me with a straight face that the bank didn’t sell every scrap of data they had on you.

Huh? That’s pretty much exactly what banks do: They loan out the customers' money to someone else, taking an interest..
