The ground works for debanking were laid when all of the mainstream press cheered on the debanking of Canadian truckers.

Now their opponents use it and it gets very little press coverage.

It needs to stop. I would not do well in this autistici.org group and they'd probably kick me out on some CoC grounds with their draconian rules and social pressure, but I still cannot get over the fact that you can just destroy a service provider with very little evidence.

All parties need to stop this.

I often read things like this, and then I go look and don't quite see the cheering:

Maybe we have different ideas of what the mainstream press is? These all seem pretty normal articles, most note what critics are saying of the measures.

Why do you think the "mainstream press" and "A/I" are in the same side? Because I don't see two parties here, but rather governments using the financial system to suppress opposition.

> very little press coverage

It may be apparent to some that some of us browse lots of news: we can say that the more powerful ones are not the most visible. You have to check carefully, to find the "historic milestones" ones.

> they'd probably kick me out

Many of us know they would not accepted given some possible inerpretation of their rules, but we really do not know - who tried?

> you can just destroy a service provider with very little evidence

The whole banking system of a State, and a State itself, some say.
