PayPal has introduced a new policy, which allows the finance 
company to directly debit up to $2,500 for spreading 
'misinformation'

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA: The financial services company, PayPal has 
introduced a new policy that will enable it to sanction users 
fines up to $2.500 per offense if found guilty of advancing 
purported "misinformation." In other words, it also means those 
individuals who present a risk to the user "wellbeing." PayPal 
is not new to crackdown against organizations and individual 
commentators when it comes to their political views. The latest 
update will be applicable from November 3, and will expand its 
"existing list of prohibited activities."

It will now keep an incessant tab on "the sending, posting, or 
publication of any messages, content, or materials that promote 
misiformation" or "present a risk to user safety or wellbeing." 
The new policy further barred users from "the promotion of hate, 
violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that are 
discriminatory." Deliberation will be made at the "sole 
discretion’" of PayPal and may subject the users to "damages," 
which include controversial removal of $2,500 "debited directly 
from user’s PayPal account" per offence, as per The Daily Wire. 
The finance company reasoned that the number was decided 
considering administrative cost of tracking violations and 
damage to the company’s reputation.

Aaron Terr, a senior program officer at the Foundation for 
Individual Rights and Expression, reflected on PayPal's new 
policy, “Under existing law, PayPal has the ability as a private 
company to implement this type of viewpoint-discriminatory 
policy.” He added, “Whatever motivation PayPal has for 
establishing these vague new categories of prohibited 
expression, they will almost certainly have a severe chilling 
effect on users’ speech. As is often the case with ill-defined 
and viewpoint-discriminatory speech codes, those with unpopular 
or minority viewpoints will likely bear the brunt of these 
restrictions.”

The decision came in the wake of PayPal’s decision to cancel 
three accounts linked to Toby Young, a commentator who manages 
the nonprofit ‘Free Speech Union’. The group has openly 
supported comedian Russell Brand, who moved his show from 
YouTube to Rumble due to censorship from the popular video site.

PayPal didn’t give a proper explanation for their action, other 
than mentioning a "breach of the acceptable use policy," said 
the report. However, the company succumbed under public pressure 
and had to restore Brand’s account and apologize, reported The 
Telegraph. Major platforms, including Amazon, Twitter, and 
Facebook had too taken a strict stand in past, against 
conservatives and other elements who opt for heterodox positions 
on controversial social issues.

Especially, against transgenderism, and homosexuality, platforms 
such as GoFundMe confiscated millions of funds raised for 
trucker protests in Canada that were supposed to take place 
earlier this year. Jeremy Tedesco, vice president of corporate 
engagement at Alliance Defending Freedom said, “When companies 
apply policies to restrict the religious speech of their 
customers, they could run afoul of prohibitions on religious 
discrimination that exist in many state and federal laws.”

Many PayPal users have slammed this decision and took to Twitter 
to share their reactions. One user wrote, "Delete your #PayPal 
account now." Another tweeted, "It’s not “misinformation” 
#PayPal wants to censor, it’s dissent. I saw what they did to 
the Canadian truckers, I see what they’re doing to independent 
content creators. I’m closing out. I hope they get litigated 
into oblivion." One wrote, "Surely this renders #Paypal 
unusable? They will have sole discretion to charge you $2500 if 
they believe you are funding anything 'objectionable' or 
spreading 'misinformation'! Who could even contemplate taking 
this risk?" Another reacted, "I didn’t need more reasons to 
avoid #PayPal but here we go…"

Users are also barred from “the promotion of hate, violence, 
racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.”

Deliberations will be made at the “sole discretion” of PayPal & 
may subject users to “damages”—including $2,500 “debited 
directly from your PayPal account.”

Other individuals and groups PayPal had sanctioned recently 
include Gays Against Groomers, a group known for opposing the 
sexualization of children, Colin Wright, an evolutionary 
biologist, and Ian Miles Cheong, a journalist.

The average millenial wokster has over $100,000.00 in credit 
card debt.

Woksters are too lazy to work and have no money except for what 
they leech from their parents, trust funds, welfare, or do-
gooder handouts.

Many woksters sign their lives away for $600 a month and an EBT 
card, claiming they are mentally incompetent and cannot handle 
their own personal affairs.

Individuals who voluntarily affirm that they are mentally 
incompetent should also forfeit their right to vote.

Woksters have similar numbers to homosexuals and constitute 
perhaps 3% of the US population.

What strategic business principle sees profit in this kind of 
market prospect?

What reasonable consumer would support a business with woke 
philosophies and policies?
