bunq is censoring concerned customers

Since the reveal of the new bunq v3 app there were a lot of concerned customers on bunq’s Together platform regarding the upcoming Instagram integration. This Instagram integration is violating the GDPR guidelines and the privacy of bunq’s customers.

There was a huge thread about this, named “Being able to turn off instagram feed”, and this was it’s link:

https://together.bunq.com/d/29258-being-able-to-turn-off-instagram-feed/18

This thread was deleted without any explanation. I was concerned about this, so I opened a new thread, called: “What happend to the anti-Instagram thread?”

https://together.bunq.com/d/29677-what-happend-to-the-anti-instagram-thread. This thread became very popular, with lots of upvotes and comments of people who where concerned about the censorship that bunq is applying to their platform. Here is a mirror of the content of that thread: https://imgur.com/a/xrNFi5a

This thread has been deleted as of the night of last Sunday. I made a post about this yesterday morning with the following content:

Why is bunq censoring our censorship concerns?

Yesterday, we made a post titled "What happend to the anti-Instagram thread?". This was it's link: https://together.bunq.com/d/29677-what-happend-to-the-anti-instagram-thread and here is a mirror of the content: https://imgur.com/a/xrNFi5a

In this popular (78 claps) post, we all raised our concerns on bunq censorship. We were worried about the upcoming privacy-violating Instagram integration. This post was a civil, to the point discussion, which is very relevant to bunq and does not go against the community guidelines

This post simply got deleted last night, with:

- No response from bunq at all on the Instagram integration

- No response from bunq explaining why the topic got deleted

- No notification to me that my thread got deleted

- No notification to anyone who participated in the thread

- No reason for the post's deletion

This is unacceptable. bunq, we all really love your service. Please, just communicate with us instead of censoring our concerns over censorship without ANY reply or notice.

This post was available here: https://together.bunq.com/d/29723-why-is-bunq-censoring-our-censorship-concerns, but after rapidly gaining attention (20 upvotes in 20 minutes), it got deleted. Again, without any communication to us. Here’s a mirror of the content: https://imgur.com/a/wydmMQr

I, and lots of other bunq customers, are very concerned about this. All bunq customers should know about the true nature of this company. This censorship is unacceptable and most hypocritical for a company that pretends to care about their customers and freedom.

bunq, please acknowledge your customers and stop censoring us.

Everyone else: please help us spread the word by contacting them through all their social media channels, as well as notifying the media.
