Who is getting fired? Is PayPal management pressing for criminal charges against hackers?
What alternatives are there to Paypal?
Cancelled mine yesterday.
That is not a fine, that is robbery. The idiots would be facing prison time en masse.
Who would ever do business with a company who announces that they will steal from you whenever they feel like it?
There's never been a practical limit to what companies can do with their one-way modifiable AUP contracts, because you agree to all updates they choose to make.
If they want their president to own your house, they can put that into the contract and any touch you make to them puts that in their scope.
These contracts are incredibly threatening.
Matters not. I decided long ago that PayPal is not trustworthy and nothing has happened to change my mind.
Business can’t follow in the footsteps of politics. Politicians can afford to spout drivel and make threats - especially when they don’t have to worry about losing an election!
Business can’t afford to be that woke, however.
It’s really weird because almost every business that gets to be as big as Pay Pal starts with a great idea, right? There is a small handful of products/services that almost everyone realizes are just total BS, but most of the time, a business HAS to have a good idea or bye-bye money.
But where do the smarts go when the woke activists start pelting them with emails and filing BBB complaints, etc, because you’re committing the sin of making money with your good idea?
I’m still rather amazed to see how FREAKING COWARDLY most people are in the face of leftwad activism. You would think someone would realize that there’s no way to be woke and keep making $$$, and stand up to these pitiful f@gs, but so far it’s only been the few, the proud, the crazy capitalists like Trumpy.
You had a great idea, you fought for it, you bled for it, you lost sleep over it, you made sacrifices - and now you’re gonna fold for a bunch of whining weenies.
Fine people under what authority?
I didn’t know PayPal was a chatroom.
How would they levy this fine?
The irony is the original founder of PayPal, Elon Musk, is the biggest advocate of free speech on social platforms to the point he is trying to buy Twitter to make sure they don’t continue the censorship that Paypal is now trying to institute
Cancelled my account this morning.
Reverse or not doesn’t matter. Fact you thought you created such a policy at all shows me I have no need to do business with you.
They’d have kept the policy and implemented it were it not for the kickback. DUMP them if you are a member is my recommendation. They started off as a money handling and transfer convenience. Today, the corporate culture wants to be more than that once they feel they’ve gotten a complete enough hold on your behavior.
The fascists at PayPal didn’t expect such a reaction. They thought the folks had been beaten down and conditioned sufficiently so as to accept a fascist “business” punishing them for their rebellious views. But there are enough uncastrated Americans remaining, and they rebelled against this gestapo tactic.
PayPal wouldn’t have done it if they didn’t know that the government would not touch them. The government was and is 100% on board with this little touch of the Stasi.
Recall biden’s nazi rant on September 1 in which he showed the world that he lovingly emulates The Great Fuhrer, except for the moustache.
It’s obvious to me that this little episode of PayPal is just testing the waters to see if this is the right moment for the government to take total control of all financial transactions, eliminating cash, and deciding what money you get to keep and what money the collectivity siphons off to give to people that it likes more than you.
It’s not the right moment. They’ll just have to organize and implement another Major Crisis which they will use as the Universal Excuse for setting the Fascist dial to 100%
Cancelled mine this morning.
Error my foot.
I don’t use paypal any more. I cancelled my account this morning.
Nice way to lose a good customer forever.
