Coinbase is receiving criticism on social media for restricting the accounts of users who access the platform via a VPN. Users have complained about their accounts being locked after using a VPN, and Coinbase advised against using VPNs to access their platform due to the association of VPNs with attackers. Some users expressed their privacy concerns and criticized Coinbase's stance, while others supported the exchange's efforts to protect users from hackers. The controversy surrounding Coinbase's VPN restrictions is being compared to the debanking issue, with some suggesting that the company is prioritizing user safety while others argue that there are better ways to handle the situation.
