Everything’s fine until you want to pay an entity your bank or government has decided you can’t pay.

In the US, people who wanted to donate to Wikileaks were forbidden to do so.

Even if I wished to pay an entity that I was banned from paying by my government or my bank, the very fact that it was banned would make me worry about being defrauded.
