See, the new terms were walking along and tripped over the 2500 fine, and it stuck to them when it got back up !!
Erroneously...the new
Unexpected
Sudden
Safe
effective
Narative.
Reminds me of the following attributed to Churchill:
"By its sudden collapse, … the proud German army has once again proved the truth of the saying, 'The Hun is always either at your throat or at your feet'."
That captures a characteristic of the Leftist mindset in a nutshell. If they are able to cement what Paypal is doing, it will be used in the most capricious and cruel manner to punish percieved enemies. The Leftist mindset actually takes joy in doing it.
The minute they get smacked across the face for their cruelty, first is the outrage (feigned or maybe genuine), then the equivocating, then the begging and victimhood if their previous targets resolve is not wavering. A normal person might relent, or think the issue settled, but the Leftist will wait for the next opportunity to inflict cruelty, and perhaps doubly so as revenge for their 'humiliation'. Thats why it is imperative to render then powerless to do so, or have them so in fear of the consequences that while they may think about it, they don't dare try again.
That is what we are dealing with.
“They say the $2500 was included in the new terms erroneously...”
They lied. What did they have, 100 monkeys typing their little hearts out and this sentence just coincidentally appeared in their policy document? No; a policy maker included it purposely.
” ... and they quickly rescinded it.”
They walked it back only because of the blow-back.
One must wonder how something like, “we will “fine” you $2500 for saying things we don’t like” was included in anything erroneously. It’s not like a misplaced decimal, a typo, or bad grammar. That was deliberately ordered to be in their by some DIE officer or someone from the Biden administration. That was no error.
Those are reviewed by corporate lawyers before. If not, that means they have no controls on anything they do. So why would you trust the coding to protect your accounts?
BS. An error would be a wrong number. This was intentional, and they got caught.
The fact it had a FINE at all for you being found to say something anywhere or anytime they didn’t agree with is outrageous... whether it was $.02 or $2,000,000 doesn’t make any difference, the fact they think its their role to fine THOUGHT AND SPEECH shows they are a company that belongs in Communist China, not the US... the fact they would even contemplate such a policy tells you all you need to know about Paypal....
PERIOD.
