Like I said, do some online Financial Crime training.

What has this got to do with anything I said?


Should major companies be able to act in often concerted efforts to withold key services from people or groups engaged in legal activities with zero explanation, transparency and or public oversight or not?

Shouldn't people accused of acting illegally be told of what crime they are accused of before they are punished or not?

Mindlessly telling me to go do some financial crime training won't cut it.

When it is mandated by the law, yes! How hard is that? That is why you need to do the training rather than come up with conspiracy theories , unless of course you can provide evidence this has happen to “groups” (not terrorists, money launderers or slavers) with financial services then please do tell.

That type of opening gambit doesn't make it easy to take anything that follows as being serious.

We need more facts rather than just the word of Farage.
You don't have to even read the opening gambit, seeing that posters name immediately means you can ignore what ever tripe they're farting out of their hole.

Are you being disengenious or are you just trolling?

I'm clearly questioning what should be 'mandated by law' and what should and should not be acceptable for companies to do when it comes to refusing/ withdrawing services and what information they must provide if they do decide to refuse to provide or continue a service.

Your just making nonsenseup now aren't you!

I have already been quite clear that Farage's case may or may not have any truth to it but the issue clearly does exist.

the recent PayPal schenanigans where they cancelled some accounts only to backtrack after some customers started to cancel their accounts it a clear exaample of this issue

As above the 'Free speech union' (who PayPal kicked off before they had to backtrack) aren't terrorists, money launderers or slavers as far as I am aware.

And neither were a lot of the people kicked of Patreon back I'm 2018/9 when Stripe and Visa then went on to try and prevent an alternative platform (Subscribestar) from offering the same sort of services to them.

tbh i follow politics as brought up on it, but im not for any side, they all self serving w***ers in my eyes, i read it earlier, but as usual i dont believe the media i dont even watch tv or have license, just generally read webpages. i only knew about farage as read it here
 
Source?

Because as I understood it it was only the actual protestors that had their accounts frozen and not people who donated.

After weeks of disruption as well. I bet you hate the UK government crack down on slow walking and stuff like that!
This took me seconds to look up...


On February 17, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said in a press conference that financial institutions have started freezing accounts and canceling credit cards in accordance with the Emergencies Act, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked earlier this week.

The powers granted by the act would allow banks to target the accounts of people who have donated to crowdfunding platforms, like the fundraising campaigns on GoFundMe and GiveSendGo, that have fueled the ongoing protests, but Freeland said she would not give "specifics of whose accounts are being frozen."

I don't understand the need for a snide comment. The fact is we are moving towards a cashless society. These incidents should be red flags in your mind about the behaviour of financial institutions. If you don't mind it then fair enough.

Well if you did the training, you’d know if paypal or patreon were governed by the FCA rules. Clearly he’s complaining about a company that is, so I‘m confident it’s either a lie/sham, or someone is in deep crap, or there is a genuine reason.

But that doesn't say they did, it says the got the powers to.
Very different things.
They certainly started to freeze others accounts who were receiving but I don't believe they froze the accounts of those who donated from what I read.
Hence me asking if you had a source.

And the issue was not the financial institutions, it was the government. Again a very different thing.
Financial institutions need to follow the law. They get rather large fines when they don't ;)

Snide comment? What snide comment.
If you hate the overreach in regards this far more serious disruption then as I said you much hate what the UK government aree doing in regards a bit of slow walking!
I am sure I can find outraged posts on here by you about that right?

I don't think I ever claimed PayPal or Patreon were governed by the FCA...


But don't think I haven't noticed your attempt at moving the goalposts now you have been caught out with your question about 'financial services' being answered.

unless of course you can provide evidence this has happen to “groups” (not terrorists, money launderers or slavers) with financial services the please do tell.

Ah the technicality…fair play. Shall I edit it to UK Financial Services? Lets face it, he’s either considered an official wrongun or someone is having a ballsy laugh, or he’s lying. As to non regulated companies doing what you are upset about, I would agree. Lets hope the Tory Kippers don’t keep their promise to deregulate everything because that would make the situation worse.

As for me squirming, yours is much worse.

I've had a credit card processing company check my LinkedIn which coincidentally coincides with making a section 75 claim.
