Like living in a HOA. Isn't there an excess of "govern"ment already without all the amateura getting into the act?

No. People can choose not to use PayPal. Government doesn't allow us that option.

No. They have the power to enforce voluntary agreements and levy penalties for violation of those agreements.

They would only have the power of the government if businesses and people were forced to use paypal. No one is.

Actually, the gambling and prescriptions I can understand, given the regulations on both.

But porn (not that I partake, she said modestly) is not illegal if you're of age. Next they won't let you buy underwear with PayPal, I guess.

Assess a fine?? That'll be the day!!

The first time they try to debit my account I'll bring criminal charges against them so fast it'll suck the air from their collective lungs. Further, I believe that there actions would result in a civil suit that'll stop their heart.

Levy a fine? I guess they never heard of a little something called due process.

Last I heard, due process applied to government. Paypal is not a state actor.

PayPal is a private company. They are free to pursue this policy if they wish.

Don't like it?
Don't use PayPal.
