You're over an order of magnitude off. Over 200 people were debunked. A donation of just $20 could result in someone being debanked: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/even-small-donation-t...

The show of power - that even a democratic government will target your families - is far worse than the relatively small number of people it hit.

Not around in the 00s when the US federal government leaned on banks and payment processors as a way of debanking pornography businesses?

Or - rather recently - when the German government stormed people's apartments for calling politicians idiots.

If I'm reading this thread correctly, it sounds like truckers staged a protest in Canada blockading roads. The government couldn't move the trucks because the cops sympathized with the protestors. So the government debanked the truckers as well as anyone caught donating more than $20 to them. Damn.
