Dear John and 5-Dove Community:

No surprise here; we've known for a long time that this was coming.

WEF Says CBDCs Must Be ‘Implanted Under Your Skin’ if You Want To Participate in Society - The People's Voice (thepeoplesvoice.tv)

Source deemed highly credible:  Professor Richard A. Werner is an economist and professor of banking and finance.  He holds a First Class Honours B.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics and a doctorate in Economics from the University of Oxford. He has also studied at the University of Tokyo.

Richard is a Member of Linacre College, Oxford, and is a university professor in banking and finance.  He is also a founding chair of Local First, a community interest company establishing not-for-profit community banks in the UK (including the Hampshire Community Bank)

“You have to think of CDBCs as a control system [or a permit system], not a currency,” Prof. Werner explained.

“It’s a conditional currency based on you actually getting that permit. Now, if you happen to be some kind of critic of government policy or a critic of central banks this could be difficult.  Or if you dare to step out of the 15-minute city zone, you know, maybe you’ll find that: ‘Oh [my CBDC is] not working’. Of course, these are things we’ve seen already in China. There’s plenty of videos where somebody tries to use it to buy a ticket and it doesn’t work because his social credit scores are low.”

And, effectively, there’s no real right to appeal.  With very few people controlling the very many, the controllers will use computers and algorithms to run the system.  If you appeal the blocking of CDBCs you’ll be dealing with automated responses.
