PayPal...friday they announced a $2500 fine for misinformation &/or hate remarks

That was on friday...what's this misinformation?  stolen election??  covid kill shots?  dems suck?

https://news.bitcoin.com/new-paypal-policy-lets-firm-fine-users-2500-for-spreading-misinformation-tos-condemned-and-called-an-abomination/

They think they're just gonna announce their 'new policy' and everybody is just gonna rollover and take it. LOLOLOL

Then.  Over the next 24  hours this happens.

Paypal loses thousands of accounts.  Suddenly....this pops up.



I think the confusion came about when PayPal folk thought they were going to be able to get away with this and then that didn't happen.

Get Woke, Go Broke.

I hear a lot of those lost accounts have no intention of coming back.

Generally if customers leave a company they do not return

Paypal is an online payment system so I don't even understand how they could fine their users period.  It's not a social media platform where people make comments.

Were they going to stalk their users across every corner of the web?   That would be impossible.

I don't understand how they have any authority to fine customers, either.
At least for things not related to finance.

Sounds like fake news, Private companies cant enforce fines, and if they did, peeps would stop using their service , I dont know of anyone over here that uses paypal ,its a bit yesterday , we have a very high tech banking system in NZ , Cheques haven't been used here for a few years now

They dont, and that is why its fake news

It would be like you hiring a car , they have a GPS and you exceed the speed limit and they give you a fine, Just aint gonna happen, there's not the legal frame work for them to do so

So it is fake news that PayPal said they were going to fine people?

okay...what about this?  note:  paypal account.

Many people have connected their paypal to twitter accounts.   Unwittingly....i mean..they knowingly did it but without knowing the potential consequences of doing so.

THAT is how they were going to do it.

It's not fake news.
When you see liberal slanted Wikipedia includes it , and doesn't ban it immediately, it's true.
