https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/8c619a93-6a86-4f46-b51b-0b826e917093 Last week Paypal, announced (and later backtracked) that it would impose a morality tax on its users, fining them for misinformation. The financial industry has a long history of trying to curtail speech: In 2010, Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal infamously suspended payments to Wikileaks after the non profit began to expose war crimes and government corruption. In 2021 Only Fans announced it would start banning sexually explicit content, which is the whole point of the platform, citing pressure from “banking partners and payout providers.” There have been free speech organizations cut off from payment services, independent media outlets blocked, privacy advocates banned. Entire industries like medical marijuana have been targeted by and cut off from the financial system as part of Operation Chokepoint, which was a secretive initiative that intended to “choke off” businesses from financial services so that they couldn't survive. Just this week Kanye West was told he and his business could no longer use Chase bank. Unfortunately we live in a world where organizations that defend freedoms, challenge mainstream narratives, or hold governments accountable for corruption are cut off from the payment rails of society. Our money has been weaponized. So how do we reclaim freedom of speech and choice? 00:00 PayPal 02:08 History of Finance Controlling Speech 04:00 Operation Choke Point 04:48 Financial Freedom Brought to you by NBTV members: Lee, Will Sandoval, Sam Ettaro, and Naomi Brockwell To support NBTV, visit: https://www.nbtv.media/support (tax-deductible in the US) Visit our shop! https://Shop.NBTV.media Our eBook "Beginner's Introduction To Privacy: https://amzn.to/3WDSfku Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.
