twenty five thousand people without any due process had their assets seized by an international oganization operating entirely outside the laws of that nation. good thing these organizations are based here in north america and can never be used against us right?.. right?

eastern ukraine? for the past eight years? it has nothing to do with these people, would you agree with this i wonder if coinbase seized your assets because they didnt like something your government did.

The leaders of Coinbase and Binance have said they will comply with government mandates to restrict sanctioned individuals, but won’t ban all Russian users. Brian Armstrong, Coinbase’s Chief Executive Officer, earlier said some ordinary Russians are using crypto as a “lifeline now that their currency has collapsed.”

And as long as people keep using it they are effectively voting for these guys to be in power.

Coinbase banned me for life many years ago now. They didn't even tell me why.

Who decides what's considered illicit activity and what isn't?
