The headline is at least sensationalist. It has little to do with Germany and a lot to do with the USA.

Banks are threatened by the USA and may loose access to e.g. SWIIFT. That seems to be the reason for the termination of the accounts.
Of course I do not support such terminations but Banks are threatened with death by a rogue foreign actor.
Yeah it is sensationalist and I didn’t double check this but apparently Chinese propaganda. Unfortunately they don’t need to lie here because it’s happened way too often that e.g. pro-Palestine activists also got debanked in the past.
Wish more of them would start using Monero.
