Most of the time these messages have to do with not completing their Know Your Customer information. This would come after the administrator has ignored a bunch of communication from PayPal.
It is dangerous to suggest a conspiracy until the situation is understood.
Either we want companies to follow the rules, like PayPal…or you get FTX types of crap.
“It is dangerous to suggest a conspiracy until the situation is understood.”
Why?
No it is very clearly speech related, which his highly suggestive of content control. They put out a policy saying they would ding users $2500 in “fees” if they found a user violating their speech codes. They got a lot of pushback for that; claimed it was an ‘error’ in their terms of use update... and then a few weeks later snuck some very similar terms back into their TOS.
Just the anecdotes are enough - why ban a guy who sells a phone that is free from the Apple/Google ecosystem? Either they are acting in anti-competitive ways with their two largest mobile platforms, or they don’t like the idea of a phone that would allow users to load apps unapproved by the duopoly of Apple/Google for the speech implications such a device would enable. Couple that with their alignment with the ADL and SPLC and the answer is pretty clear. Though, to be fair, PayPal might be concerned about getting kicked off the Apple/Google duopoly if they don’t police content.
