It isn't censorship, it's freedom of association. Any business is free to decide who it does business with, offering trade and services requires consent from two parties, economic transactions are voluntary. Last time I checked sort of a leading principle of the whole cryptocurrency community.
That's not true, a business can't discriminate on race, gender, etc. But crypto ownership is ok. We draw the line at race and gender, but it's not a free for all
Protected class is a meaningless distinction in this context. Hetzner is not checking your tax records to determine if you are a cryptoholder, they are denying a specific transaction based on its nature, not yours.
Well, this may change after the wedding website Supreme Court case that is currently under consideration. The Supreme Court is weighing freedom of speech vs discrimination protection.
It may soon be legal to not allow certain races to be your client.
