There goes my PayPal account
Mine too fren.

Mine too. Plus all the others I know.
The social credit score system has made it to America.
How do they do this since no one expresses opinions via using paypal? Take the initiative to run through a person's internet history?? OR find ppl they don't like and then fine them on their service which has nothing at all to do with what they have said or done elsewhere??
This is what I'm wondering.
What if you're not using your real name in the online public forum?
How would they tie that back to a bank account?
Edit: Oh shit. Your cell phone number.
so the social media platforms and paypal share a person's sign up info?? with no prior suspicion?
I thought only NSA had all that data to correlate. sheesh.
Why indeed does a finance platform feel it has the right or reason to enforce opinions??
To be monetized on a platform, you typically have to give a cell phone number.
Think about all those content creators on Youtube or Rumble, who have their Paypal linked, or even in their videos.
I am so glad I distinctly refused to join any social media requiring a phone number directly now
I'm not sure. I don't know all the nuances in this situation, I'm just trying to think logically.
Google maintains and sells the information they have. They provide Paypal (or anyone) both phone numbers, along with your information, the information of your Contacts, and the content of those calls. If your phone is Android, they also collect and sell all of your app data, electronic purchases, location and travel information; and it is referenced to all of your other data (and analyzed by AI for future initiatives). This is what those User Agreements, that people don't read, say.
For the regular Joe this doesn’t change much. What about businesses that operate online and accept PayPal? Podcasters, real journalists, etc.
yeah, they apparently want to prevent normal financial business with ppl that the left does not like, and WHY?? What does it have to do with sending money between people?? That is about as straight forward and neutral as anything can be. I send that person this money; that person sends me that money; for transactions we both agree to. Pay Pal is merely the blind implementer of the transaction agreed upon by the parties. What the heck??
Maybe Wells Fargo should refuse to send money from illegal aliens back to the countries which were so horrible . . . that they have to send money back to. WUT??
They own Venmo too.
Stop using both platforms.
And use what? And who is usni g them as a bank? I simply move money using it.
There are plenty of other platforms to move money, fren. Check out CashApp or Zelle as examples.
If you want to use and support a bad actor, that’s up to you.
Too few people know this, I've learned.
So I reached out to PayPal and ask point blank about this. I couldn't take a screen shot due to their privacy rules, so I copied it.. hehe
Hi, ( I removed ny name)! You've reached the PayPal Messaging Team. My name is Marielle. I appreciate your patience waiting for my response. Regarding about that I can say that it's not true. PayPal didn't do or fined anyone if one of our customer supports any charity, speaks against the LBGT or Islam. Nothing to worry after carefully reviewing your account we can see that your account is in good standings with no limitation, no restriction and no suspension. You will not be fined for $2500.00. They didn't even answer my question.
I support a church in Kenya for years and I don't want to get fined. I opened up a Western Union account and will be closing PayPal.
Shouldve just taken a picture with a phone.
Why? It works just as well to copy and paste.
😑
Because no one could write a wall of text and edit it as needed. /sacracsm
Oh well..

I can’t believe they would be so balsy. Hope they go bankrupt
I've just been reading Ashland dogs Babylon Bee articles.
I thought this was another one.
Unfortunately, it's not!
Tell them they're dreaming!
I am on the phone closing my account right now. They are having trouble because I also have a Venmo account and the accounts are linked despite me never linking them.
Paypal owns Venmo and keeps the records in the same database. Your email address is tied to both.
So...
Close both and screw these guys.
Is Apple Pay any better ? What about Zelle? I’m in the process of closing both but what is a good alternative?
Imagine a 'user' being stupid enough to Ever USE the corrupt paypal, Ever again?
Yeah,I already didnt like them because of their freezing of gunbroker associated accounts and anti 2a stance. I was still keeping an account but trying to utilize it minimally. Last straw. At the end of the day, we have the power and I just took my consent to be governed by their policies away from them. Spread the word. Nuke their user base.
I would bet that this can't happen. No way could paypal get away with this.
Just deleted my account.
Looks like Fakebook is censoring this story. I shared it and it is nowhere on my feed! Will be getting off there too soon!
For a quick read on which services to keep away from, check out the gunbroker payment agreement page.
Hint: all of them.

Fuck off paypal
It says from your Paypal account.
I never leave any money in my Paypal account. Whenever I get anything I immediately transfer to my bank account.
I don't thnk they'd be able to get anything from the bank account? If they can, that's a quick cancel. If I just keep an empty account as usual it should be okay.
I wonder if we can ever have any services or platforms that just provide a service/platforms rather than getting political about it.
I mean even here we have moderators and bans for certain topics, even if it's better than most.
I miss the wild west of Voat. When you don't like topics or conversations you just read something else...
...been trying to pull my crypto coins off of ppal, they are blocking me from doing so
I guess I am fortunate that I have only used my account once, many years ago. Now I can officially terminate it! No loss to me at all!
Enraging and Unacceptable.
Someone should fuck them up and probably will.
Look forwards to it.

doesnt elon musk own paypal? 🤔 doesnt he also own spacex? we might be stepping into a big pile of horse shit my frens.
I nuked that account almost 2 years ago. The only reason I would sign up again is to spend every penny of the limit for SHTF products and stiff them ....
Now Paypal goes the way of Netflix, Disney, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Go woke...
Bye bye gaypal.
That’s absolute bull shit… what’s a better alternative pay site Venmo?
And RUMBLE uses PayPal to pay content makers. LOL.
Paypal handles money, it (mostly) isn't a credit service. When you buy something, it is immediately funded by your credit card or your bank account.
