[[“PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy...”]]

Translation ‘becuuse it has caused such an uproar of disapproval, the test terms we thought up and consequently trotted out now will be postponed until a further date when noone is really paying attention, and until we can coordinate with the msm to keep it quiet, so that noone will hardly notice. There will come a day when society does what we demand or else, but because of the consternation of the far right radicals, that day is not today... unfortunately’

I’d bet anything that policy would be in full effect if nobody bothered to read it and go public.

Will Kane said he knows quite a few people who are canceling their accounts due to this policy even after revoking it.

A bit of clarification is needed. PayPal is a payment processor. I don’t know of any way to post “Misleading information” ON PayPal. PayPal is not for posting opinions. It’s a money-transfer company.

So this means that PayPal has a way of determining if you have posted “Misleading information”. Do they get that information from Facebook/Youtube/twitter/instagram/tiktok/etc? Or is there one big database of bad people who have posted “Misleading information”?

Doesn’t matter if PayPal is now saying that this policy update was posted by a mistake. They nevertheless have the technology to determine who’s naughty and who’s nice, and to destroy the lives of people who they select for destruction.

How would PayPal know what you are saying on the internet?

However, PayPal is not fining people for misinformation is only one item, and does not cover "activities that.... are harmful ... or objectionable … (e) depict, promote, or incite hatred or discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics." And as the MSM article states:

And of this time Sunday 2pm, October 9, that language above is nevertheless still included in PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy and its user agreement (here) states.

Which states,

If you’ve violated our Acceptable Use Policy, then you’re also responsible for damages to PayPal caused by your violation of this policy..You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 U.S. dollars per violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages - including, but not limited to, internal administrative costs incurred by PayPal to monitor and track violations, damage to PayPal’s brand and reputation, and penalties imposed upon PayPal by its business partners resulting from a user’s violation - considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to PayPal that reasonably could be anticipated because, due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in any PayPal account you control.

And the Acceptable Use Policy states,

Prohibited Activities You may not use the PayPal service for activities that:...relate to transactions involving... (f) the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory

Now "the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory" can translate into what was ambiguously described as activities that:....." “Involve the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials that, in PayPal’s sole discretion, (a) are harmful ... or objectionable … (e) depict, promote, or incite hatred or discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (e.g. ... religion, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.) … or

Geez, this was announced AND retracted on the same day. Your sources should update their stories.
