But guys..if you aren't doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about. You do realize that whole 'obey the rules' goes both ways right? Since when did opposing hate speech become "woke"?

Now, on a serious note, I agree, this was not an accident. Someone within either didn't like it and leaked it, or they let it leak on purpose to see what the reaction would be. In a normal scenario, this is a fine print detail that would slip through with a whisper.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this would do little to impact me. While I don't have many social media type accounts, my Paypal account is in no way tied to other accounts. They would need IRS level scanning and scrutiny to be able to do this.

My guess is this was supposed to be way more generic in terms of their clauses around what you can and can't do with your money....which has been in place for many years. Like, funding known hate groups as an example.

One other thing I thought of just now...they own Venmo? Venmo is very much social media oriented. It may even have had to do with things said and done on there.

I've said this before, but I keep my money buried in other peoples yards. They'll never think to look there!

You haven't missed anything yet. Nothing went into effect. Most of us really don't know exactly what the intention was here and are playing the guessing the worst possible scenario game. I would say no one agrees with the idea in general, but as to what extent or how they would do half of what we think they were attempting is unknown.

The thing is....there's a big push from the opposite side to change that...at least when it comes to the disinformation they want to spread.

And the "i know my rights' crowd..does not.

it's the same reason mods prevent us from having any meaningful political gun fights.

But...that was its intent. So you can speak out to the powers that be without fear of prosecution (of course...that's in the light of day...what they do to you behind the scenes..well).

I was agreeing with you, not disagreeing. And what I was referring to is the laws Florida and Texas have tried to put in place to prevent social media platforms from 'selective/biased' censoring.

We've reached that point where we can't discuss what is truly meant. I don't disagree with you, but it is more lop sided than even. I know you and I will disagree on that, so no point going there, but ask yourself who is responsible for policing people who don't tell the truth and purposely mislead people for their own gain? And who has the say what is truth? I do not think 'loudest mouth' is the correct answer. Nor is, "because I don't want to believe it is true" or "I read it on facebook".

We can't really discuss it but it rhymes with "because they don't believe there is any".

The problem here is your version of too far, and my version of my too far are on opposite ends of the spectrum most likely. You are either okay with complete asshats lying and being disparaging at the expense of others or you are not. If you are ONLY concerned about the economy, that doesn't excuse you from humanity and the people you decide on and what comes of it. We have already seen where that road is backtracking to. That does not mean everyone on the opposite side is good, but there is a very clear bad here, and it isn't the ones asking for equality.

As you allude to, the pendulum swings. Possibly for the first time ever though, there is a dramatic perspective difference in the people as to which way it has actually swung.

Anyway back on topic.

If everyone quits using Paypal, we are going to need a new transfer system for Pinside.

PinsidePal?

Intent and context is everything. This can be misunderstood in writing and emotional topics get personalized and make people jump to conclusions that may not be there.

I was going to use a cargument..but everyone around here hates those

As someone who was just recently accused irrationally of hate hate speech when the context was completely not related to even the topic I was accused of, I can see where someones interpretation of things should not be left to the whims of someone making a profit off of it. Just like for profit prisons, and end of month police ticket quotas, there's a benefit to finding as many 'guilty' people as you can.
