No. The few who had their accounts frozen had them unfrozen within days. The freezing was done by the banks without instruction from the government other than the existing "supporting terrorism" laws on the books (it was done by the banks of their own volition before the Emergencies Act was passed). Yes, efforts were being organized to bypass regulation by taking donations in cryptocoin but that turned out to be a scam and thankfully few of the donors were sophisticated enough to go beyond cheques and credit card donations to Give/Send/Go.
So, end in the end, a terrible example of why trusting the organized crime behind crypto is superior to the usual crowd and whether it has contributed anything useful to society. It's more of an example of how paranoia can blind one to reality.
