PayPal De-Platforms Conservative Street Artist Sabo, Holds His Funds for Six Months
P.J. Media ^ | October 29, 2019 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 10/29/2019 12:40:23 PM PDT by grundle

On Monday evening, Sabo, the conservative street artist who is mostly known for his street posters that randomly pop up in California, reported on his Facebook page that he has now been kicked off of PayPal. "Today Paypal canceled my account with all of my money in it," he announced. "They are holding my funds for the next 6 months."

PayPal is the money exchanging platform Sabo used to earn income, and this de-platforming hits him hard financially. "I explained to them that I live in a city with 60,000 homeless people and that they are about to make me and my wife join their ranks."

Last year, Sabo was also de-platformed from Twitter without being given a reason. He gave an exclusive interview to PJMedia's Megan Fox when it happened.

If the Deep State isn’t stopped, this kind of thing will be a common practice to destroy conservatives.

Paypal has been dead to me since I was a teenager. Just read the community boards on ebay, there are plenty of blood-curdling tales of Paypal atrocities.
Avoid Paypal like a plague, because that’s what it is.

I had my own problems with PayPal. PP hijacked my Visa payment to an EBay seller after I declined PP then required me to pay in monthly installments by check the precise amount each month that PP decreed. The Visa payment also went through so I paid twice. I relented for the sake of my credit score and paid the monthlies as they would not accept a check or visa to pay it off. When I paid it off the second time they then billed me for the whole price again which I ignored and took the credit hit. My visa card is secure no matter what PP does. As a result I cannot deal with EBAY again.

Really no different than the Chinese using ‘social credit’ to restrict access to life’s necessities based on your social, spiritual and political beliefs.

Except, the government has been replaced by Big Tech, Social Media, Banks and Employers. And ALL of them share the same common beliefs in socialism. Express your support for the second amendment, life, liberty, individual freedoms or traditional families, and you could find yourself unemployed, broke, homeless and ostracized.

It’s Russian Roulette. Sooner or later Paypal will ruin your day, and the TOS you agreed to, protects them 7 ways from sundown.

The trick with paypal is to have your bank or whomever immediately transfer any funds out of paypal to another account. That way they can’t do the random clawbacks.

Yes, the fact that he didn’t set that up makes me suspicious that this is a publicity ploy

What’s next? Your bank freezes your checking account because you voted for Trump? Don’t laugh. It’s a real possibility.

Everyone this has happened to needs to get together and file the MOAL Mother of All Lawsuits.

These Marxists need to learn the hard way, that Freedom of Speech is not a suggestion, nor is it subject to their whims.

If only we still had Anti Trust Laws, PayPal and others committing these despicable acts would be in PRISON and BANKRUPTED like the Law Prescribes

Oh yeah, I know that. I have friends who have Ebay seller accounts and the news that Paypal became “separate” from Ebay...is utter bulls***.

All my Ebay seller friends told me they are STILL in tandem with Paypal. Example: if you print out a shipping label, then the customer asks to cancel, you have to go to Paypal to do it. And you are correct: MOST of these dudes ASAP transfer the money so Paypal cant reach it just in case THEN de-couple the bank card, if needed.

And the deplatforming of those on the right continues. When will people on the right wake up and fight back?
