The launch of the digital euro could give every European a free, universal payment account. But this grand vision is at risk of being curtailed by a well-coordinated lobbying campaign of the banking industry. Banks want to make sure you will keep needing them – and they have EU officials’ ears.

Don't fall for CBDCs, they're FIAT 2.0,
but now with even less rights over your money and privacy, and as likely to lead to hyper inflation as our current FIAT systems.
I don't want to but keep getting into devils advocate shoes all the time so apologies in advance.
In my opinion blacklisting of sources is OK but the reason for doing so should be well sourced (Wikipedia paints that institute in rather positive light). I modded polish national sub for a while and we kept this documented as a list with reasons for blacklisting (usually connection to Russian misinfo reported by reputable NGOs) in a public wiki which might be overkill made our lives easier in a long run.
The post itself was hardly better, repeating right-wing conspiracy theories about fiat currencies. I would have probably also removed it even if the supporting source was not a literal propaganda institute for the Koch brothers.
Just a Lemmy general question: When you remove the post, does this affect only users from you own instance? I am asking, because I still can see the post and I am coming from feddit.de and use sync.
