Questions:

I’ve always thought of PayPal as a kind of online bank. I can make payments to people and businesses and PayPal in turn debits my bank credit line.

I’m not sure I understand how I can express what lefties call “hatred and intolerance” by doing this.

Is it because I could send money to one of the “intolerant“ groups? Or collect money for my own “intolerant“ group?

For example, if Samaritans Purse accepts my donation using PayPal, would I be fined $2500 under this new policy?

Am I missing something?

Banks have also set this precedent as well. They have closed the bank accounts and refused to do business with groups and individuals based on their political views or spread of “misinformation.”

My question too. The only avenue seems to be those “hateful and intolerant” organizations who use PayPal to raise funds.

I’d appreciate knowing other means.

Yes, what you are missing is that if Pay Pal were to determine that you post on FR, PP could charge you $2500 per post.

from Volokov's article: promotion of" "discriminatory" "intolerance"—presumably including distributing publications, or for that matter buying publications (since that's an activity related to transactions involving the promotion of certain views)
