Some of the stuff I’ve read about with this protest crosses a line where I don’t care who they are. They could be pro-pedophilia protestors and it wouldn’t matter. Arbitrarily depriving people of core services like banking without due process is not okay, especially since fighting it costs money. This is why abolishing debtors prison was a huge issue in the American revolution and public defenders are a required part of a fair judicial system. The author obviously has their biases and compares it to social network deplatforming. I don’t think those are comparable at all. Being “debanked” is a whole different level. That’s something I consider a line. It has nothing to do with who is being targeted. Today it might be right wingers but tomorrow it could be black activists or people trying to unionize. We have had stuff like this in the US applied piecemeal in the area of civil asset forfeiture, usually related to suspicion of drug crimes. That’s been a civil liberties tire fire for decades. Now imagine it being done on a mass scale. That is truly scary.
