PayPal backs down

At 5.30 p.m. this evening, PayPal notified me that it has restored all three of the accounts it cancelled a couple of weeks ago – the accounts for the Daily Sceptic, the Free Speech Union and my personal account. In all three cases, the email read as follows: We have continued to review the...

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.

These big tech companies are getting far too big for their boots. Everything is hidden behind AI now.

Seriously thinking about taking some bottles out to the lake district, sticking a fancy label on and selling clean breathing air. Then, after I take some healthy profits, sue someone somewhere who thinks it's a stupid idea. Win Win for me.

....any ideas for a name?

Smart Air? They have Smart water

I've never had a paypal account. I just pay by CC and ApplePay.

I expect paypal will be on it's pay out what with browsers and devices having their own payment storage/methods.

yea because they are anti-consumer and it hurts their sales if people tell the truth.

Consumer watch dog exists to do nothing, they should be lobbying the gov and the media.

Of course the govt set-up watchdogs even of they aren't bought and paid for have no teeth anyway as they're designed in precisely that fashion. Powerless. The system is set up sp the biggest companies can do what they want through either self-regulation or under the eyes of cucked regulatory bodies.

That's what they employ politicians to do. That's what the donations are for. It's amazing how many people don't see this. Blatant corruption and conspiracy right in front of their eyes, yet millions can be convinced by bs like QANON because someone posted something on Facebook...

Meh. Closed my Paypal account after 13 years. My last transaction was three years ago, every card on there was expired so I deleted them all, and removed all my bank accounts. Oddly it wouldn't let me delete my main account so I just closed my Paypal account.

To be honest this palava about fines and stuff just reminded me that I have a potential financial data breach waiting to happen. Had I been allowed to remove my main bank account I would've done that instead but I cba dealing with companies that refuse to let me delete my own data. I'm sure they'll be very sorry :p

You won't be the only one who has done this I bet the closures come in masses.
 
I Still use paypal, this is really peculiar though for sure. i do some buying and selling of guitar parts "on the side", so i keep any payments into paypal for things i sell, since i use it to buy the next batch of parts. It doesnt make me much money really (i enjoy it though), but minimises ins and outs in my bank account
