As an Italian living in another EU country, I always thought that the amount of (broken) bureaucracy of Italy was not particularly worse. However this story comes after a couple more I heard this week, in a line of absurd practice possibly due to absurd regulations.

The FSFE justly drew the line at providing private information of supporters. How many other customers of Nexi simply handed over such data 'because audit'?

So this was not only about FSFE and payments for them but a general audit of their (Nexi's) customers ?

That’s how I read the linked post as well, yes.

> Over the past few months, our former payment provider Nexi S.p.A. (“Nexi”) requested access to private data, which we understood to be specifically the usernames and passwords of our supporters.

I must be missing something, but why is there an expectation that clear text passwords would even be known?
