It has been happening for a long time now. Say something the government doesn't like and suddenly your bank and credit cards stop working.

This is done through a perverse private/public partnership where the US government will give a vague instruction to deplatform an individual or group and a private company will voluntarily enact this de facto ban.

The government then gets to claim they are not banning anyone and the private company can say they reserve the right not to do business with anyone.

Hell it used to be common to not even allow women or blacks access to banking.
