This is bang-on. We're seeing daily examples of companies forcing their "values" on users, and it's most acute in big monopolies. It's fine to debate whether people should be kicked off twitter (they can just build their own lol), but depriving people of money in retaliation is a whole other level, only seen in places like Canada

Did you mean China, or is there something that happened in Canada that I'm not aware of?

They froze the bank accounts of some Freedom Convoy donors.

The worse part of it is that some are denying that it happened, even though the Deputy Prime Minister made an official announcement about it.
