Canadian government did it last year.
Anecdotal stories are not evidence. Links?
Soo... Not "the wrong opinion" but disrupting major infrastructure. Im not sure I agree with it, but it's not the laissez-faire process you are implying. It's also pretty trivial to see how they can equally do the same with cryptocurrencies through the major exchanges, given the hurdles or actually using your crypto outside them
It’s the wrong opinion because this is the only protest where such measures have been taken, but not the only protest that disrupted infrastructure.
