Unfortunate you are being downvoted - this is _exactly_ what happened.

Ordinary people who funded, in small amounts, a grassroots non-violent protest that the ruling political party disagreed with and found inconvenient had their bank accounts frozen.

They could not access their legally obtained funds, nor have additional legally obtained funds deposited.

There is no precedent for an action like this.

It is a good reminder of exactly what can and will happen with digital money - much like cloud video games, movies and music it is not actually yours - it can and will be revoked at any time by the platform for any reason.

This is DRM all over again.
