So it's not your money if you can't spend it supporting, for example, terrorism?

  Maybe it’s not a binary thing of “your money is free or not free” but rather it is and always has been on a scale. There have always been things it hasn’t been ok to purchase, but as per comments above, it’s the ability to enforce these whims on a global scale that’s new

  Spending money on illegal things, is illegal. Spending money on dubious things, is not. I'm sure crypto exchanges and the like are illegal in some parts of the world. But it isn't clear to me whether that's the case in the UK. The argument here, presumably, is that banks shouldn't have a policing function. You can choose to (dis)agree with that, but it's a valid argument.
