It is no secret that PayPal is and always has been a “woke” company. For years, they have engaged in financial censorship, banning users based solely on ideological differences. Invariably, they have gone after those on the right, particularly those they consider to be “fringe” and therefore dangerous.
Today’s announcement of their partnership with the far-left Anti-Defamation League is not really introducing anything new. It’s simply expanding what they already do. That expansion will reach more conservatives than before, allowing them to cancel accounts based on loose associations.
In the phrase “extremist and hate groups,” they want everyone to focus on the “hate” aspect. In reality, this is their entry point into the elimination of any conservatives who do not remain within the boundaries they set for us. The term “extremist” is in a rapid state of expansion itself; just going to a Trump rally has prompted many to label all attendees as “extremists.”
The other aspect of their move is to share the information they collect — and it will be vast — with law enforcement and other financial institutions. They don’t just want “extremists” canceled on their payment platform. They want them banned across the board and arrested if possible.
If you’re reading this then you’re very likely at least right-leaning. If you don’t believe they’re talking about you as being an extremist, think again. The phrase “slippery slope” is overused but it applies here, and it’s intentional. They want to slide down the hill of financial censorship. They giddy about taking the ride.
The problem faced by many, including us, is that PayPal has embedded itself as a primary and often exclusive payment processor...

Dan Bongino Announces New Anti-Cancel Culture Payment Platform
https://bongino.com/dan-bongino-announces-new-anti-cancel-culture-payment-platform/
Dan Bongino announced the launch of a new payment platform, AlignPay, to combat cancel culture and big tech tyranny and ensure businesses are never denied financial access over their political beliefs.
AlignPay is set to compete with the likes of Stripe, Square, and PayPal in the transaction business, and will offer its services at a similar price to its main competitors. The service is set to specialize in credit, debit, and bank-to-bank transactions, with fully encrypted transactions and the promise not to sell personally identifiable information.
Bongino stressed that the platform is open to all political beliefs, noting that the platform will not discriminate against liberal groups:
Bongino said that organizations with all backgrounds and political beliefs would be welcome to use the platform, including ones aligned with conservatives, such as anti-abortion groups and pro-gun rights organizations, but also liberal groups such as the Black Lives Matter organization or ‘Defund the Police’ groups. The only groups that will not be allowed on the platform are those involved in “any criminality,” said Bongino.
Bongino noted that conservatives have become frequent targets of technology companies for publicly voicing their beliefs, which means conservatives should be able to take their business elsewhere:
“They just don’t want conservatives’ business. Well, that’s fine. Conservatives don’t want them either,” Bongino said.
Trump hasn’t endorsed or committed to using AlignPay yet but is aware of its existence, Bongino said.
“So I want to give everyone an alternative. I don’t want this to happen to anyone, Trump or anyone else again. When you cut off someone’s financial lifeline, you cut off their entire website,” he added.
Hmmm...
This means that everyone who has contributed to FR through PayPal is now safely listed in the communist’s databases...
FR members will now resemble bulbs on those old Christmas tree light-bulb strings...
Mysteriously winking out forever for no “apparent” reason
Great! Thanks!
I’m a monthly donor to Free Republic thru PayPal.
They’ve never said a thing.
Think that will change?
I’m sure we’re on the list.
Will this effect FR?
This is going to backfire on the ADL as everyone else on the Left supports the Palestinian Cause. The only friends that Israel has in the world are the “Christian Zionists” on the political Right.
Y’all bitchin’ about PayPal but don’t GAS about ATT
Do you not realize that CNN is largely responsible for the misinformation against Trump. And that CNN is ATT’s billion dollar bitch?
Well I just heard on conservative talk radio show a day or two ago, that PAYPAL is also funding the infamous SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER!!!
Yes, I’m “bitchin” too about an even more dasturdly outfit (SPLC). I already dumped AT&T!!!
Yes, PAYPAL is now supporting the Southern Poverty Law Center that has long been a vile opponent of conservatives as described by many threads here on FR! I just received a letter from my bank promoting PAYPAL with a cash-back deal and “”Speed through checkout with PayPal.” I’m writing back with a big “Fergedaboutit!!!”
