But they won’t fine anyone who says the Covid vaccine is safe and effective right? This is funny though because misinformation is disinformation minus intent. Which means they’re about to have a massive lawsuit on their hands if their customers are charged for this.

It's probably them trying to be more "threatening" than anything, like me when I put a sign on my mailbox that said "Warning: contents inside may contain HIV" after I noticed one of my neighbors stealing my mail. I ended up having to remove the sign, both because my local mailmen didn't want to deliver to my house anymore and the local gay community thought I was a new member.

The word misinformation is a synonym for what they originally meant with the phrase fake news before Trump stole it from them. Everything else associated with it is exactly what they would have been doing four years earlier if Hillary had won.

Deliberations will be made at the "SOLE DISCRETION" of PayPal

So your bank accounts you connected to PayPal will be literally taking hostage by it. Slow quarter? Lets loot some accounts! Some dude we dont like? Bankrupt him! Christ.

PER VIOLATION

10K dollars gone for sharing a bunch of memes they dont like. Holy fuck!

PayPal's whole business strategy revolves around seizing money and having more lawyers than God so they can get away with it. I don't put suing you for negative balance beyond them.

According to their ToS, yes.

Might be a good time to close your account if you have one.

I tried. It said I have "pending transactions" and thus my account cannot be closed. Obviously bullshit, as I rarely use it and the last charge was weeks ago.

I did delete my bank account so they can't plunder it in the name of equity and tolerance. I'm never using them again.

Update - PayPal backs off https://www.theepochtimes.com/paypal-reverses-course-says-company-will-not-seize-money-for-promoting-misinformation_4783827.html

too late - I already deleted my account, telling them that I wanted to work with a FINANCIAL INSTITUTION to facilitate MY money transfers. I had no desire to work with a company that acts like a Dolores Umbridge Karen telling me what I can buy or even say with MY money.

This is just a temporary pull back because they got more heat than they were expecting. They will bring it back eventually, maybe in a slightly different way.

Same here, PayPal is a relic of web2.0. I don't know any selling platform (ebay, Etsy, Facebook marketplace, etc) that doesn't have their own payment system at this point

If there's any way to chain together bits of data from websites you signed up for 15-20 years ago to connect your Paypal account to your saying things Democrats don't like account, transgender communists will put it together and rob you for it.

Just for accuracy's sake, their policy forbids you to use the PayPal service for activities that "promote misinformation". They can't just charge you because they found your KiA2 posts. It's still horrible and I've cancelled my account, but it's not quite what's being represented here.

As much as I want to agree, since "slippery slope" is a fallacy, after seeing how gay marriage turned into demanding the right to have kids grab dude's dicks, you got to stop things before they get out of control.

'"slippery slope" is a fallacy' is a fallacy.

If it makes you any better, a fallacy just means something that doesn't always lead to a valid claim. One could fallaciously claim that fire will burn you.

That said, the issue is more that leftoids use "activism" as a way to fill the emptiness in human life as we have more and more time in the day thanks to modern advancements.

Slippery slope has never been a fallacy. It can be used as one if its used in a way in which A has no connection to D in any logical way. Like taking a shit causing more snow.

If you can show a clear throughline from the points then it is and has always been a completely legitimate thing.

They can't just charge you because they found your KiA2 posts.

That's what they're claiming now, then when it's important they'll start stealing your money anyways. What they say now vs what they actually promote later is called motte and bailey.

Sure; it is at Paypal's sole discretion.

I could see someone lawyering that e.g. me shitposting with friends in a game purchased via Paypal counts.

Trump supporters/people with opinions about social issues that were completely normal to hold 10 years ago who do too good of a job of arguing with transgender communists regularly end up losing access to every app in the Gig Economy circle simultaneously.

We create our own political party dedicated to removing women's power, win in a landslide and destroy everything they created.

So will the "mass awakening" include women or are you going to prevent them from voting? Or is this admittedly nothing but a fantasy?

How will a political party dedicated to crushing women "win in a landslide" when women are a majority of voters?

We don't need their vote. If all men support us, regardless of what women do, we hold the power.

How? When women are a majority of the population, and a disproportionate percentage of voters. If 54% vote for Women Party and 46% for Men Party, then the Men lose. Not to mention the fact that significant numbers of men won't be persuaded to hate women. Even in your best-case scenario, you'd lose 100% of women and a quite significant percentage of men.

So I repeat: how are you going to win?

Because killing a few women will solve nothing and just give them excuses to crack down on us

For all your crazy, we should at least be thankful for this speck of sense.

Well, the fact that you don't call for violence and always do your best to follow the rules has me convinced that you're at least not a federal agent.
