I closed my PayPal when I heard that they would not take money in support of the Canadian Truckers.

How many ‘compromised’ FBI and ‘intelligence’ commies work there?

Musk should buy the mini-hellhole company and expose them...

I’ve been reading the agony columns and websites about Paypal since I was a little girl learning to navigate ebay.
Anybody using Paypal is playing an extreme sport. Sooner or later they’ll regret it.

A few days ago, I emailed Elon Musk.

“Are you worried that a company you helped found—PayPal—is now part of an emerging private social credit system?” I wrote. “And is buying Twitter, in part, an effort to fulfill the mission that PayPal seems to have abandoned?”

It seemed unlikely that he’d reply. He was busy reimagining his new social-media company, shooting rockets into space, upending the electric-vehicle industry, trolling AOC.

But one hour later, at 6:55 p.m., eastern time, an email popped up in my inbox. From the new owner of Twitter.

It was just one word:

“Definitely!”


Conclusion of article for those who didn’t read it.

You can donate to FR through Paypal. I don’t use it, though.

I bet if we were allowed a look under the hood we discover the Government has a hand in this.

Used Paypal once a while back. Now I keep getting spam from people trying to scam me with fake invoices, even though I don’t belong to Palpal anymore.

That’s the way it used to work.

I wonder how Twitter was still in business hemorrhaging all that money?

Why?

Yeah.
Twitter has so much reach that Musk is really well-positioned to exercise some more of his “creative destruction” on the knuckleheads who (many believe) are the smartest-guys-in-the-room.
Could be an interesting time.

Pay pal tried to rip me off for $200 a decade ago. I was smart enough to beat them to the punch and prevent it. I ignored their legal threats for a couple of months and they gave up. I would never, ever trust them.

Wait till they roll out the CBDC and see how quickly funds are taken away or denied.

I know somebody who uses PayPal for their services other than payments. For instance, that person uses them to create and send invoices to clients who then Zelle their payments. That person also uses PayPal to create mailing labels with postage.

I am surprised that Free Republic hasn’t been cancelled by paypal.

It's probably worth allowing it because they can monitor who is financially supporting FR.
