Thieves

I’d cancel my PayPal account, but I already did after their last attempted theft.
Yes. So did I and I had that account since 1999. I’m surprised enough stayed on for them to think they could get away with this...
Obviously it wasn't.
That is how to go out of business.
Good question. Does this policy of thievery extend to all social media outside of PayPal?
Crap, just bought some performance car stuff with PayPal credit. Wonder if they’ll add $2500 to my balance!
If it becomes practice at Paypal, you’ll see other payment processors start to do it.
I cancelled PayPal a few years ago after they were found to be very lax in their account security. I won’t be going back. Ever.
Where is Paypal’s authority to issue and enforce fines? I don’t understand how this could stand up to legal scrutiny, other than corrupt judges.
Do people actually go to PayPal to post articles and other content like we do here on Free Republic?
Their executive team needs to order the business manual “ STFU and Sell Stuff”
No. But content providers can use PayPal for their side businesses... think Tucker Carlson selling mugs with C.P.L. on them... or Caturd on Twitter selling beanie hats... not saying they use PayPal but that sort of thing is what is problematic.
I’ll make two predictions over PayPal.
First, their customer base shrinks by 50-percent by the end of 2023. Alternate sources will exist to take their place. The management who dreamed up this ‘path’? They will bail by spring of 2023...realizing they were gutting the company and it’s design.
Second, I think the end-result of PayPal is that some Mexican banking group (with cartel money) probably ends up buying them before the 2024 election, at a discounted value (say half their value of today).
PayPal will be like Enron in the end.
As expected. I didn’t think they were sincere in their “repentance.” The government allows them to seize money for unapproved thoughts.
I realize how horrible this is. Most of the public doesn’t even know. The media didn’t tell them about the issue 2 weeks ago, and isn’t going to tell them about the latest development.
So the media and the government are OK with this theft and the open proof that our government is a fascist dictatorship.
Just what I needed to cancel my PayPal account. They took a bunch of money someone paid me and I had no idea why until I saw their terms.
...but they’re a PRIVATE company, so they can screw Americans out of their freedoms (even if requested by government).
So what’s the problem here?
(libertarian viewpoint)
As they say, get woke, go broke. If you have a Paypal account, CLOSE IT NOW!!!!! There are other alternatives to Paypal.
Yeah. I canceled mine 15 years ago.
I’m coming from a bit of a point of ignorance here but I’m just going to throw it a guess. The mistake in the first announcement was that they would find you just for making comments on any site, blog, or forum, they didn’t like whereas now it has to be connected to your actual use of paypal.
