The Paypal Truth Department - Topic

https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-paypal-policy-lets-company-pull-2500-from-users-accounts-if-they-promote-misinformation

PayPal updated their terms of service, the "acceptable use policy";
https://www.paypalobjects.com/marketing/ua/pdf/US/en/acceptableuse-full-110322.pdf

The new language in the clause specifies;

Did you use PayPal to take donations on your twitter account where you 'promoted disinformation' in the eyes of big brother PayPal? That's going to be $2500 from your account.
Did you say something they deemed as bigoted? Another $2500. The money will be subtracted directly from your account.

No sooner had these pages been published to their live and active policies and gone into effect and gotten called out by tons of commentators, then did paypal try to abruptly reverse course and claim it was all a misunderstanding, oopsie;

Weird how the AUP includes clearly written and intentionally included language that was never intended to actually be there. It was just a test policy that they must have been dreaming up on a whim and accidentally published, not something they fully intended and only withdrew as the backlash against their company got so extreme in the past few hours that they closed down their account management services so people couldn't close their accounts en masse.

reminder paypay was absolute shit before this nkvd move.

Unironically this. Their fees are ridiculous and their charge back and buyer / seller protections are far too easy to abuse to justify them.

Lol that 9% drop. Honestly I was expecting more. In what world do these people live in?

A part of me thinks a play was made by some 5 head team of world class financial gurus, had the whole thing scripted and ready to go. Another part of me thinks there was a glitch in the system
