    Then there is the issue of who decides what misinformation is. PayPal is made up of individuals, and every individual has their own opinions, and their own priorities when it comes to what kind of misinformation is important to remove and punish people for.

  • StinkhornPress mush room thang (@StinkhornPress) reported

    PayPal has been a horror show of policies and compliance and fixing errors and deleting accounts from day one. Why surprised now??

    @MostlyPeacefull @greg_price11 @PayPal We will close u down Paypal. Ur no more

    @TomFitton @PayPal So... Don't lie then no problem. You weren't planning on lying were you?

  • Nationstatist John Gustavsson, PhD (@Nationstatist) reported

    After all, the bank is just as much a private business as PayPal is. If PayPal can raid your account based on fine print criteria, why shouldn't banks? Then ask yourself: What happens if PayPal runs into financial trouble? After all, lots of businesses are already struggling.

    @Nostre_damus I remember years ago, when i had finally had enough of Paypal, its terrible customer service and generally horrendous product. It took me weeks to close my account. They do everything in their power to stop you from de-activating. Speaks volumes about the company and ppl.

  • Nationstatist John Gustavsson, PhD (@Nationstatist) reported

    Under a new AUP, PayPal would allow itself to fine any user spreading misinformation $2500 per violation. PayPal has since claimed the AUP was released in error, but before it did so, some people actually defended the company's right to fine users on this basis. A thread.

    @archer_rs Thanks for the info. I will look that up and I hope it is true what some guys here say in the answers that PayPal said it was an error.

  • firemothjoe Mothman (@firemothjoe) reported

    @bennyjohnson PayPal locked my account for some reason but wouldn't tell me why. But my account still exists. So tried to close my account. I got the above message and my account can't be closed due to an unresolved issue. Which they won't tell me what it is.

    @80sMetalGaga But @PayPal lied. It was not an error.

  • BornaTroll coffee for lunch (@BornaTroll) reported

    @axios Simply saying that Israel is an apartheid State might make PayPal angry with you. I'm glad it was just a simple error on their part, and something they would never even think about?

  • JDeylamipour Joe Deylamipour (@JDeylamipour) reported

    Roadside rescue network, the only animal rescue in meridian MS is struggling to feed their dogs and provide vet care. It is rough to be an animal rescue in one of the poorest areas in USA with a huge stray animal problem. Help out meridian. PayPal: RRN2021 #meridian #animalrights

  • maou42 maou42 (@maou42) reported

    @CBuch64 One only gets the litigant's lawyer's opinion. If PayPal is guilty of malpractice the courts will expose them and fine. But do not be the useful idiots for people who may have broken T&C's they agreed to. You are not fighting the man doing so but potentially helping shady ppl.

    It is good that PayPal is not operating in Türkiye.. so we will not face any problems, any loss of money because of their regulation...

    @RealCandaceO @PayPal @AskPayPal The FBI has a lock on your account that’s why,and PayPal will dance around until they get their permission to get to change the interface so that you can delete it. For example, my iPhone’s interface doesn’t work like most iPhones, same problem, button don’t work etc. FBI spy U.

  • markfrigsby Mark Rigsby (@markfrigsby) reported

    @EmmaSengsta @archer_rs The problem isn't that the policy was posted, the problem is that there are people at PayPal who even think this way in the first place. They schemed up the policy and put it in writing. That's enough for me. Then the posted it and said it was posted in error?

  • johnrbond J_Bond (@johnrbond) reported

    @ChristinaPushaw But it “went out in error”…surely this was an honest mistake right @PayPal ?

  • artiosite Mecha Enthusiast (@artiosite) reported

    does someone here know paypal really well? I made It months ago and I never used it bc the moment i made it I was restricted from using it. as there any way to fix this?

  • Nationstatist John Gustavsson, PhD (@Nationstatist) reported

    Now, why talk about this if the policy was released in error? Because whatever PayPal says, policies like this are never released in error. Had it been, it would have been retracted within 5 minutes. Instead, it was retracted after it went viral on social media.

  • hmccloudjr Harry J. (@hmccloudjr) reported

    @Vannuys77 @fox @PayPal PayPal has backtracked on a published policy that would have fined users $2,500 for spreading "misinformation," claiming the update had gone out "in error."

  • casareilly Carolyn Reilly (@casareilly) reported

    @Windoctorx PayPal said it was an error; no accounts had $2,500 taken for misinformation on social media. They were swamped w outraged people. The TV reporter said it might have a permanent effect & referred to PayPal execs as naive. GoFundMe withheld $ from Canadian anti-vax truckers.

  • replyguy694201 replyguy69420 (@replyguy694201) reported

    4 hours later and I still can't close my Paypal account. They make me jump through a bunch of hoops to sign in for security, but what about the security of mind to cancel my account when I feel the company is threatening and evil?

  • BubbaJack61 Bubba (@BubbaJack61) reported

    @goldseek I shut down my PayPal account also. My bank allows this issue of single use virtual credit card numbers. More hassle but worth it for the few things I used PayPal for.

    Because it would be terrible for Mr PayPal developer to have his own co-op with Mr Wheeler invaded by my people just like they thought that they were going to shut down our payment processing and monopolize an industry
