I don't understand how this works.

If I am giving you money and your are giving bitcoin to the people I am supporting, then mastercard will not allow you to take money if you facilitate right wing views.

If I am giving you bitcoin and you are giving money to the people I support, then Mastercard will cut you off if those people have right wing views.

If I am giving you bitcoin and you are giving bitcoin to the people I support, then how is it different from just giving bitcoin?

It doesn't really solve the free speech problem as what is needed is a way for all views to be paid with the ease of a credit card, instead of just approved views.

Mainly microtransactions. The bitcoin fee can be high and might not make sense if you want to give someone say 10 cents for every article you read.

This is what BAT is for

That is clearly not correct. You can subscribe or donate to "The National Review", "The Weekly Standard", "The American Spectator", "The American Conservative", "The New American", and "FrontPage Magazine" all via MasterCard, and these are all right wing publications facilitating right ring views.

Its kind of telling that the right wing is embracing alt right nazi and other people calling for violence and genocide as 'right wing'.

The Overton Window is a hell of a thing.

You would be giving bitcoin directly to the people you are supported, mediated by their technology. ( my understanding of it without knowing the team and seeing the released project as it's just a preview)

Examples of 'right wing view facilitation' being banned?
