I know! Let's make it so you can blacklist those funds on the blockchain and then they're not spendable. That solves the problem. And you know what, once that system is in place, let's vaporize all the money of anyone who says something "racist" on Twitter or something bad about the government or posts a picture of their hunting rifle or supports the opposition party in an election.

A social media platform should be forced to operate as follows:
If a social media can be forced to operate in one way, then it can be forced to operate in any way. That is, if you get to dictate, then you only get to dictate while in power, and someone else will come into power and dictate something else.

I know what this looks like, the government wants to make sure you read its narrative on everything first.
And I'm sure it will be abused for that.
Full stop. Period. Everything else is a distant secondary consideration.

And Fascism does not work very well either, but that does not prevent the current U.S. moving in that direction.
Not even close...not even with ultra liberal side of Democrats pushing facistic actions and promoting facist laws/rules and societal changes.
And all the while to promote facism they are using the term against anything center left to middle right as facist.....making the term meaningless over time much like they've done with nazi and racism....they've overused them so much then just have no meaning anymore.

Kind of like how any economic system better for people in general is called communism.
nah....we all know that any form of economic system even resembling communism would not be good for anyone...at least not the common folks, only those at the time.
Sure, Capitalism sucks....but it sucks a whole lot less that ALL other forms of economic systems.....history has shown us this time and time again.
