Just a CBDC preview. Totalitarians are salivating over taking the PayPal experiments system-wide.

I use VENMO. Very straightforward and simple.

Except that it is owned by...PayPal.

Tnat is what ELON is planning on doing with Twitter. Social media, payment, e-commerce etc. all in one app.

Musk said back in June that this, plus a lot more, was his plan for the future wrt his purchase of the blue bird.
He stated that his goal was to build a platform that would effect every facet of everyone’s life.

Canceled my PayPal account a few months ago. Only used it for an annual payment to my VPN provider. They take credit cards now, so I switched to credit card.

The credit card companies are just as evil, unfortunately.

"Is the (generic) left buying up all the financial services, to use them as a club with which to beat us?"

Remember the golden rule: they who hath the gold, rules.

Over the years, rank and file conservatives fell for these myths: the leadership of the military, law enforcement, and business were on our side.

I signed up for a paypal account many years ago, and never used it. I don’t even know what email account I used, and it’s possibly an email account I’ve closed.

Now I’m receiving messages at a new email that I never used for paypal, asking me to ‘review my account’.

I can’t find any way to contact Paypal customer service to close this account - every option requires logging in, which I cannot do. Does anyone know how to reach them without accessing an account?

I love gab. Everything about it is great. Yes there are racist there, but gab gives you the tools to filter that crap out. The format is better than twitter and kind of a combination between twitter and Facebook.

As far as gab pay. It’s different and many people may not be comfortable using it but I like that it doesn’t allow the banks to control what we are allowed to buy/sell.

They’re not buying them, that would cost too much. They’re infiltrating them like termites and roaches and taking over them, eventually destroying them.

They are called “activists” - they run the country.

My Paypal locked itself. There’s a notification with vague wording that essentially is the same as these closure reports — no reason given and no way to find out. No clue on this end since I wasn’t doing anything interesting with it. Probably link-crawled from other Big Tech to here or somesuch. Locked for being deplorable.

This lock is extra cool because I can’t close the account due to the lock. There’s $0 and no attachment to bank or other account, so I guess they can enjoy their non-account. Twitter’s actually closed out years since; I just neglected my Facebook thing so long ago that it (almost certainly) points to long-gone email and (?) phone info. I’d close it but it’d hoover up my new info in the process and defeat the whole purpose of closing it.

What prevents them from going woke and screwing with your finances?
