(🐘) Commercial banks who meddle in politics tend to give disproportionately more to republican candidates (53/43%) and credit unions tend to give disproportionately more to democrats (58/41%), although it's uncommon for credit unions to meddle in politics at all. The elephant (🐘) above indicates that it's confirmed specifically for that bank that it favors republicans. Absence of 🐘 just means I didn't check that bank.
(🚨) *the problem with CISPA*-- CISPA was a bill to create a system of unwarranted mass surveillance through information sharing between the government and private sector. Congress blocked the bill, but it was later reincarnated as CISA and it passed. The police light (🚨) indicates that the bank lobbied for a police surveillance state in favor of CISPA.
(🔎) *the problem with drug testing*-- Drug testing employees in all cases above entail control over employees lifestyle outside the workplace. And in most cases involving medicinal mj states, the drug test also harms the healthcare of employees by intervening in doctors' prescriptions. The magnifying glass (🔎) indicates that the bank mistreats employees by drug testing them.
(🚓) *the problem with prison financing*-- Under the Trump administration, the number of immigrants detained by the US government has skyrocketed. Nearly 75% of those detained are held in private prisons, whose stock prices have soared against the backdrop of Trump’s zero-tolerance and family separation policies. A *Popular Democracy* [study](https://populardemocracy.org/sites/default/files/%28Updated%29%202019%20Data%20Brief%20The%20Wall%20Street%20Banks%20Still%20Financing%20Private%20Prisons%20FINAL%20EMBARGOED%20UNTIL%204-8-19%201030am.pdf#page=2) details which banks are financing private prisons and detention centers, as well as the banks that have made commitments to stop.
(👌) *the problem with ALEC*-- ALEC is a huge right-wing political lobby that puts corporate interests above the interest of human beings, as it fights gun control, fights healthcare, fights immigration, fights unions, fights public education, fights womens rights, and supports the NRA. The OK hand sign (👌) indicates that the bank supports right-wing extremism through ALEC membership.
(👁) *the problem with Tor hostility*-- Tor is a tool that helps the privacy of consumers. Banks that block Tor or take hostile actions against customers who use Tor are indicated with an eye (👁). A plus ("+") indicates that the bank allows Tor users to *attempt* to login (so they can discover which of their customers use Tor), followed by a permanent account denial.
