What if you woke up tomorrow and completely lost access to your bank account, credit cards, PayPal, and Venmo, all because of something you posted online?

Pretty sure having a bank account is like an EU right, so banks can’t just close your account willy-nilly over some online post.
Yes, but VISA would hold the keys to the infrastructure that let’s you use it in in a modern world.
Except for maybe international online payments, there are already alternatives, so I don’t quite see how.
WERO might be the EU alternative.
Visa doesn’t hold the keys to the WERO infrastructure. WERO is basically a facilitator to the system of real time bank transfers that already exists anyway on European infrastructure. It is not a credit card system in that sense, because the money goes immediately from one account to another, but so what?
Most likely it is an EU right, but violations would require a lot of effort to straighten, so I wouldn’t be surrised if they do sometimes close accounts willy-nilly
