I got my credit card blocked for making donations to Palestinians in need of aid in Gaza.

I feel I am being punished by automatons for supporting ”the wrong people”. And they are not getting all the aid they could, because people can be discouraged by this from donating.

This is my rant on how this friction introduced to me by automated systems is a prime example of how structural oppression works.

FWIW, my Visa was ok (living in France, not sure how relevant that might be).
