But who threatened? If you fail to see the difference between legal actions from private entities and threats by a government that shows it doesn't feel bounded by laws (see illegal actions from the memecoin department) then you should probably refrain from giving your opinion…
No, i would consider the prior to be in the vein of civil rights if I believed it happened in an even remotely similar way.
