How it doesn't work: A big (((Jewish))) conspiracy meets to single out individuals for targeting How it also doesn't work: The big banks coordinate with "antifa," which isn't even an organization, to silence free speech

How it does work: companies who handle money, such as banks, payment processors, and the like, have Terms of Service with their customers and clients. These TOS bind the customer to certain agreements.

Many of these agreements are there to ensure regulatory compliance. Money-handling institutions have many laws they must comply with, including the PATRIOT Act, Know Your Customer, and other regulations.

The TOS often contain boilerplate language about extremism, terrorism, drugs, money laundering, etc. To ensure compliance, most companies contract this work to firms that specialize in this domain.

These contractors will investigate TOS violations and recommend termination if they are found.

All of this is pretty general; I'm not talking about my employer or any of the asinine conspiracy theories against me.

Because there are but so many firms doing compliance work, it's not hard to be a Known Person to many of them.

So that's basically it. There's no leftist, Jewish, antifa conspiracy. What there is is an entire network of regulatory compliance teams trained to root out extremists. And this has existed for decades.

But it does make for some "entertainment" as Nazis further their delusions of a vast conspiracy targeting them specifically.

TL;DR Version What Nazis think I do: *participate in a Jewish run, communist banking conspiracy (??!?) to stymie them* What I actually do: *spent 7 hours today trying to determine why an observable bug appears unobservable, and therefore undetectable, in the data*
