Canada experimented with debanking with the trucker protest. It shouldn't be possible for a bank to cancel your account over political or moral disagreement.

    Crypto is terrible. Far too many scams have happened for it to ever be useful as anything other than an unbacked speculative instrument prone to losing its value or just disappearing at random intervals.

    The solution to the debanking problem is legislation preventing it, which is no doubt incoming as the current debanking story has hit some high profile people.

        There’re so many levels to this shit.

        It’s literally LGBT/progressive bingo.

        I think WoS is a twat, but no one, no matter how shitty, should lose the ability to interact with the economy because of their opinions. The banks should be entirely apolitical and keep their cunty usurious mouths shut.

        When CBDC goes active, you will have zero freedoms anymore. Dissent will not be allowed.

        What's wrong with WoS?

        He’s a Scottish Nationalist. And he was quite unpleasant to people during the run up to Indyref.

        He's a massive twat on certain things, but at least a dogged journalist on others. He was one of the few people blowing the whistle early on the SNP's finances

        Yes, he deserves praise for his reporting on those issues and it is clear what opinions got him debanked.

        Exactly, and because they're cunty and usurious, it's why they should protect this independence more.

        Never forget, banks are just looking for a reason to take your money and will absolutely make one up if they have to. If people give the bank the opportunity to take someone like this's money freely, then they'll FIND a reason to take yours and everyone else who's involved with the bank's as well, even if that reason is just "I want a little more depth in my Uncle Scrooge pool."

        I can't see shit. I guess Twitter requires you to login now?

        I can't see anything either, just getting a loading error.

        It's fucked at the moment even if you are logged in

        Some discussion/speculation on Twitter.

        Some people asked me to share what I just shared in a space about the rate limits. I don't work for Twitter but, I do architect IT cloud solutions as my day job.

        It is temporary. Twitter's rate limiting is not what everyone is thinking it is. It is not to punish non-paying users.

        "Data scraping" is a big deal. This is where automated systems load the website or app and pull your tweets/data. It's a huge security issue. Automated systems are pulling every tweet/word/user account information to store in an unknown database somewhere else.

        This could be state actors like China, the US Government, Australia, or other bad political actors like PAC's that are trying to gain access to everyone's information to analyze and use for nefarious things. Manipulating what is said on the site can be done at scale with data scrapping.

        It could also be used to figure out the identity of Anons or to punish people in their country for what they tweet. Looking at you #Australia and #Canada and #UnitedKingdom

        The temporary measures of limiting tweets is to protect users just as much as it is to protect the entire Twitter network from going down. They are currently scrambling to get ahead of this and tune their network security to block it from happening again.

        It's also important to note that twitter has 500,000+ servers. That's not free. In cloud data centers, the companies that use them have to pay for what is called "ingress and egress" of data going "in and out" of the servers. A data scrapping event that is large enough for them to start limiting means that it was a MASSIVE event that could be considered an attack on the site. It would also put massive load on their servers and cost them so much money it could threaten the site's financial ability to keep running. It could be on purpose to put twitter out of business from cost alone.

        Many people are misunderstanding why @elonmusk wants people to pay for twitter or for the twitter API (a programming interface that can pull data for other sites and apps).

        The reason he wants people to pay is because if China or porn companies want to create massive bot farms of fake accounts, it is currently free. These bad actors are highly skilled and operate like a business. They have professional staff that continuously change their tactics and Twitter engineers have to fight 24/7 to stay ahead of them. If they have to pay for every account or pay to use the API, it would cost them A LOT of money. This limits the amount of people who could create bots, put automated porn on here, and the hacking/scrapping/DDOS attacks on the site. It protects you.

        It also guarantees twitter will continue to exist without bloating it with tons of ads. This is all a part of the plan to create a free-speech place we can enjoy without being controlled by outside actors or advertising companies. I know $8 is a lot to some people but, it is for many reasons. None of the reasons are to hurt or punish people.
