Payment firm reverses decision to ban African journalist who heckled Psaki
NY Post ^ | June 2, 2022

The payment processing firm Stripe has reversed its decision to cut off subscription income for Africa-focused publication Today News Africa, whose founder Simon Ateba interrupted Jen Psaki last month at her final White House briefing.

Stripe’s initial decision was reported Tuesday by The Post and gained widespread attention — in part because it happened two weeks after Ateba disruptively shouted at Psaki, but also also because Stripe boasted early investments from billionaires including Elon Musk, who just reached a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion to restore free speech.

A Stripe representative called Ateba late Wednesday to say he could restore his account.

So payment processors are willingly carrying out political reprisals for the democrat party. What do the dems give them in return?

This has been happening since its become fashionable to bring your ideology to work.

There are numerous payment processors out there, including Stripe, who won’t provide merchant services to outfitters and gun dealers. “Too much risk” is what they say the reason is, but none of the risk inherent in those business models will ever fall on the merchant service provider so its clearly a lie.

Heckled? He dared ask ask a semi-critical question of the Biden regime. Point out the emperor has no clothes and you get de-personed.

When are payment processing firms owned by conservatives going to start doing the same thing?

They don't need to actively give them anything, just that they are ideologically aligned, serving the same general causes. And, luckily for the dems, the opposition consists of people viewed as repugnant Nazis, making it even easier for the businesses to carry out these reprisals.
