That is honestly the only explanation I can find. I mean what other explanation is out there? I am beginning to suspect that 5 years from now we´ll have a snowden like leak that will showcase that this is probably the case. I hope that I´m wrong but I seriously doubt that this isn´t the case at this point.

Why would you assume there's an explicit blacklist? I'd think it's just that people independently note who gets a lot of bad press.
Some people are just potentially a liability to provide service for because of the risk of mass activist backlash and terrible PR if someone decides you're supporting them and it gets traction online.

That's pure conjecture. Or Milo canceled the account as a publicity stunt. The image he posted was completely out of context and with no explanation. We don't know and I seriously doubt anyone cares about Milo that much.

Which would be made publicly known by Coinbase within hours.

The issue here is not about a single individual.

Why would they? They're not required to and I don't know of any business that has a policy to publicly reveal why an account was closed. Considering Milo's history there's a more than likely chance it has something to do with his financial and legal issues if he was even banned to being with. Again he just posted a screenshot without reference.

If you mean Alex Jones, Laura Loomer and Louisa Farrakhan then I think I found the problem.
