Persona Non Grata: Difference between revisions

Line 212:
* Being on the sex offender registry not only leaves a black mark on a person which they would very much find it hard to erase, it also effectively gives the person in question ''persona non grata'' status as they are no longer allowed to take up certain jobs, reside in places near schools or places of worship or be in close contact with minors. Controversies over its effectiveness have been discussed though, as some have argued that ''it created more problems'' than what they're supposed to address, like families of sex offenders [[Sins of Our Fathers|who are also affected]] even if they had nothing to do (or wanted nothing to do) with the offender's sexual deviancy, as well as the issue of offenders who end up as homeless bums due to lack of housing and job opportunities making them ''even more dangerous'' to children residing near the area.
* Following the 2021 United States Capitol Building riots, which was widely condemned as an act of domestic terrorism, rebellion and sedition, [[Donald Trump]] was either suspended or banned indefinitely from mainstream social media platforms for his incendiary comments condoning the riots and calling the supporters to "fight like hell" for Republicans to "take back our country". Twitter locked him out of his account for a period, while Facebook, Instagram and Twitch banned him permanently, with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg expressing disgust over Trump's statements. Twitter later announced that they have permanently banned Trump from using their services, and several others, namely Snapchat and Shopify, followed suit as they saw Trump and his supporters' posts and media as inciting to sedition and rebellion. Besides social media sites, large banks, the PGA, and other private companies quickly and publicly started having nothing to do with him.
* Noted Filipino boxer [[Manny Pacquiao]] was banned from entering The Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles due to a controversial statement he made in regards to same-sex marriage, which was met with outrage both from Filipino and foreign LGBTQ+ communities. It didn't help that he had just converted to evangelical Christianity at the time, leading to him being branded as a fundamentalist as a result of the ordeal.
