PayPal fines for free speech

Fortune Magazine is reporting that "PayPal tells users it will fine them $2,500 for misinformation, then backtracks immediately." Candace Owens mentioned it on Instagram.

"Next time you’re clicking through one of those impossibly long and impenetrable legal disclaimers to a company’s terms of service, it may be time to have a closer look. A new policy in PayPal’s fine print triggered a storm of outrage over apparent plans to impose, starting on Nov. 3, a hefty fine of $2,500 any time one of its 429 million consumers and merchants expressed what the corporate brass deems to be misinformation. PayPal quickly apologized over the weekend for what it called 'confusion,' claiming it was all just an error, but not before a a deluge of criticism from a number of high-profile individuals—including its own former president, David Marcus."

Reuters claims that it was a *error* - not a false report but a true report of what they claim was an error. Ya no kidding. Kiss your company goodbye. They actually put that in their terms and conditions. That is insane and clearly shows how ridiculous big tech has become. When rich capitals fund and enforce Communism, it's not to share their wealth. It's to increase their wealth by turning consumers into slaves. Pride cometh before the fall so it does.

This is like how Twitter deleted a tweet by the Florida Surgeon General Joe Ladapo then restored it after backlash. That kind of medical censorship is completely unacceptable. Right before that Twitter suspended the account of another medical doctor named Peter McCullough. So what did he do? He instantly went over to Substack just like Dr Robert Malone did. No lie can live forever and big Tech sucks. Corporate monopolies are bad for consumers and for civil liberty.
Needless to say I logged into my paypal account and deleted my bank account as well as my credit cards as methods of payment. Even though they reversed the policy the fact that they even considered it means I am no longer comfortable doing business with them. Credit cards you can cancel but you don't want that kind of company having access to your bank account.

  1. Yeah I dumped PayPal a while back. Many people do not know that Venmo, "an alternative to PayPal" is in fact owned by PayPal and was invented to regain some of their lost market share due to their anti-gun and other policies. The wife tells me Pay Pal stock took a big hit over this "misinformation" thing but I haven't checked that.

    1. I had my Netflix coming off my PayPal so I fixed that. It was a bit redundant charging my PayPal which in turn charged my credit card. I just cut out the middleman.
