PayPal CEO Dan Schulman admitted during an interview with the Wall Street Journal that PayPal works with the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) when it considers blacklisting conservatives.
I think North Carolina was probably the moment that was the most visible, where we basically said this violates our core value and we need to make a very public stand on it, claimed Schulman, referencing the time when PayPal pulled out of an investment in North Carolina because the state passed a bill making it mandatory for people to use the bathroom of their biological sex.
Businesses need to be a force for good in those values and issues that they believe in. It shouldnt come from backlash or people taking heat on it, because then its in response, as opposed to the definition of who you are and then how you react to the context that you find yourself in, the PayPal CEO expressed, adding that the Charlottesville rally in 2017 was a defining moment for PayPal to start blacklisting conservatives.
Schulman claimed it was a defining moment for us as a company, that was difficult, because, the line between free speech and hate, nobody teaches it to you in college. Nobodys defined it in the law.
During the interview, Schulman also admitted that the far-left SPLC helps to inform PayPals decisions.
There are those both on the right and left that help us. Southern Poverty Law Center has brought things. We dont always agree. We have our debates with them. We are very respectful with everyone coming in. We will do the examination carefully, Schulman explained. Well talk when we dont agree with a finding: We understand why you think that way, but it still goes into the realm of free speech for us.

PayPal is for deviants to pay for pornography, drugs and other lawless activity without it being traced back to their accounts.

I never have or will use PayPal.
Its hard to believe such a complete awhole could be employed by an American corporation.
I thought businesses weren’t allowed to deny business to anyone? Cakes, photography, etc.
Used PayPal once in my life, never again.
Well here is another company I will quit using. Dang, it sure was convenient.
