🚀🌍 At the Oslo Freedom Forum, the rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) sparked concern. Activists fear governments could abuse CBDCs to control opposition, citing cases in Russia, Nicaragua, and Hong Kong where financial systems were used to silence critics. Yet, the rollout of CBDCs in Nigeria and China has been marred by inefficiency, with Nigeria's CBDC app pulled for being "clunky" and China's met with resistance. As CBDCs rise, activists warn of the risk to human rights. 💬 What's your take on CBDCs? Are they a tool for control or a step towards financial freedom?
