🇦🇺 New censorship tool? Unraveling Australia’s Orwellian crackdown on bank clients

The National Australia Bank's terms and conditions, set to step into effect November 1, feature a new "unacceptable account conduct" addendum enabling the banking behemoth to "investigate instances where it identifies or is made aware that an account or an electronic banking service is being used in a financially abusive manner."

The latter includes "coercive or controlling behavior to limit a person’s access to or use of funds; making profane, derogatory, discriminatory or harassing comments to any person; making or promoting threatening or abusive language to any person," and "making or threatening physical or psychological harm to any person."

Free speech activists fear the new regulations are rife for potential misuse to target politically undesirable people
