The world's largest banks are signing onto "environmental, social, and governance" (ESG) pledges and acting like financial wings of liberal political parties. In a similar case, JPMorgan, earlier this year, closed the bank account of a US religious freedom organization, effectively ending its ability to function. This is happening to right-wing groups and individuals alike, and it's time for governments to step in and end this predatory and anti-democratic behavior.
Banks don't just cut ties with individuals or groups for no reason, but they do take safety measures to make sure that their institutions don't fund hateful propaganda that could — and often does — lead to violence. Both traditional banks and newer platforms like PayPal have in the past held accounts for right-wing extremists. These current measures ensure the safety of companies and the public they serve.
