It wasn't, no. It was meant to clarify for other readers that people didn't have their bank accounts frozen for protesting COVID; they had their bank accounts frozen for financially supporting or participating in an illegal occupation of a city centre.
Your point stands that governments/courts decide what is illegal and that they have the power to freeze bank accounts when those accounts are used to fund illegal activities.
- odessacubbage 4y agoit is worth remembering that occupy wallstreet was also declared 'an illegal occupation of a city centre'
- Khaine 4y agoThis is one of those 'it's ok when we do it' scenarios. Where its okay when occupy wallstreet, Antifa or another leftist cause occupy somewhere 'illegally', but not those damn truckers.
- torstenvl 4y agoAnd if someone illegally occupies the front seat of a bus, or a diner counter? Is it also okay to keep them from something that belongs to them then?
- hansworst 4y agoIf someone illegally occupied your house, would you be okay with them getting fined for it?
- rofrol 4y agowhy do you mention fine here? the thread is about blocking access to your whole account...
- Georgelemental 4y agoOf course! After they are convicted of a crime, following a fair and public trial, or guilty plea
