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??
