New PayPal rule: The company can take $2,500 from your account for sharing misinformation

What on earth is this? Has to be a wind up surely.

As someone said further up, i have no problem with online forums/platforms deciding what can be posted on their websites etc.

However, a payment company taking money from your account if you say something they dont like..! Um, what?

They have already shut down accounts of Toby Young, some LGBTQ+ group who want to stop tannies indoctrinating kids and Andrew Tate. It's already happening and it's the credit score system via the back door

Did they take money from them? A private company refusing services is fine as long as it isnt due to discrimination, but if they actually took money from them (like fined them), that is wrong.
 
I believe PayPal are claiming that entry is in error
i see how this works, paypal start the misinformation then roll back on it and those on forums and social media etc that forward on the original paypal information on being fined etc = now spreading misinformation and paypal will profit. genius
 
they will be allowed an opinion... at a cost.

And there shouldn't be, whether monetary or essential services. What in the future they cut you gas or water, or can't get a mortgage because you can't call a man with his dick chopped off a woman? You may laugh now, but who'd have thought 10 years ago financial services could be withdrawn because you're not socially palatable?

This comes a couple of weeks after they shut down the Free Speech Unions account.

PayPal seem to have completely lost the plot.
 
More importantly they're removing "returns shipping on us" that was the only reason I still used them

What's the definition of misinformation? So if you get word from a friend that could be wrong or right but others see it wrong or right dependant on what it was before actually being confirmed. Or they themselves got it wrong and said, sorry I got it wrong. Does that mean you're now penalized? But if a corporate gets it wrong there is no punishment...

What is it that's going wrong these days? Why does it feel you're about to be stoned, black listed for just slightly getting something wrong with no malice intended...

We mocked China for their social credit system, but world leaders and politicians love it.

won't be long until it's considered part of "democracy"

Aww what a shame.
 
Clickbait article gets frothers frothing!

More at 10.

You could try being accurate and not be guilty of giving misinformation yourself by saying - Factually correct article justifiably gets people angry so company changes its policy based on negative feedback - I know its not as punchy as the misinformation but the truth rarely is.
