A world where you can be financially cancelled

A thought on what is described as ‘cancel culture’. Once all money is digital, the ability will exist to cancel people from buying or selling anything, just as they can be cancelled from social media today.

Will those people who have been so eager to cancel people from their social media platforms for having the ‘wrong’ opinions also want to stop similarly ‘reprobate’ people from accessing their bank accounts?

People have not only been cancelled from social media platforms but many have lost their jobs and careers through this same cancelling mechanism.

I foresee people who have been excluded from buying and selling having to rely on family members for support – and these same family members pressuring these cancelled victims to ‘buck up’ their opinions and present a more compliant image to society.

A universal social credit system, which is in operation in China, rolled out across the rest of the world will ensure conformity to the system. Is this what we want?

Where are all the Christian organisations speaking out about this foreseeable horror? And how do we even discuss these issues when having the concerns outlined above seems to disallow someone the right to express them?
