Define law and lawful transaction. For one example, law is a changing thing and rapidly changing one. What was pretty legal activity at Canada for pretty long time was changed at the hands of the government into illegal activity quite quickly and, what is mostly concerning to me, that law even has a retroactive nature - accounts can be frozen based on the activities prior to the date law enacted.
In my not so humble opinion, payment processors should be transaction-blind - they should process any transaction and all transactions.
- neom 3y agoWhat Canadian law are you referring to?
- thesz 3y agoInvoction of Emergencies Act during and after protest convoy and related banking regulation changes.
- neom 3y agoThat's hardly "changing the law" - that was invoking an existing law in the face of a valid national security risk. Granted law makers voted to extend the law slightly, never the less, the law has always existed in Canada. I would never want to live in a Canada where payment processors are blind to transactions and the government couldn't freeze accounts of extremists/terrorists.
- thesz 3y agoDefine extremists/terrorists, again. Be sure to define it in such a way that you can't be labeled as such in any cicumstances.
- neom 3y agoWhy would I be sure to define it in such a way that I can't be labeled as such in any circumstance? I'm not afraid to work against my own self interest in the name of a better situation for the collective. What happened in Ottawa as a bunch of self-centered ego maniacs with extreme views terrorizing the people of that city. Never mind the bank accounts: they should have been jailed for life.
- thesz 3y agoUp there you disagree with the (part of) collective and you show no intention to work against your self-interest or otherwise to work in the name of better situation of the (part of) collective. Thank you for thoughtful and thought-provoking discussion with you.
