"Don't like it? Make your own."
Go ahead, create your own website. Start getting popular with free information sharing with zero censorship.
Oh no! All of a sudden you can't process payments because financial institutions will no longer let you, so now you're going to have a hard time expanding your bandwidth and handling the web traffic by paying for servers.
What's that? You got enough money together where you can just buy your own servers and handle all that traffic?
Oh no! All of a sudden you can't get donations anymore because all the sites that process those things have banned you because hate speech or some bullshit.
What's that? You we're able to get the money together independently to keep your website on line and have your private servers run?
Oh no! You've been deplatformed! The ISPs closed your website down by taking away your domain name.
What's that? You created your own website on your own servers running on a network outside the US?
Oh no! Now the search engines are taking you off their search results, and if you don't know what the website is and directly to look for it, you can't connect to it!
What's that? You have a big enough following who privately donate to you directly so that you can keep your website going on a server outside the US, because everyone is censoring you?
Oh no! You've been named in a lawsuit by the ADL and SPLC, they want you to provide all the information about your donors, who goes to your website, and so forth. They promised they weren't going to use that info to dox people, even though they have no legal reason to want that information, but now you going to have to go to court to fight and keep your user information private.
What's that? You won the lawsuit and were able to keep all your information private?
Oh no! Now some DA with direct connections to the ADL and SPLC are charging you with conspiracy and saying that you are an accomplice to hate crimes, hate crimes that have not even been proven to have even taken place, and they are going to get a warrant to get access to your information servers website and everything else, but they totally promise that they aren't going to make that public, and now you have to go back to court again to fight this and to get an injunction to even give up that information before the cops can come steal it. Good luck with that! I'm totally certain that they aren't going to leak that information.
But yeah, other than everything that was mentioned above, you are totally free to start up your own website.
Gab is the only company I know who achieved independence
Wow, how weird, two "mistakes" that are exactly the same!
If you haven't deleted your PayPal account yet, do it now faggots
Yes but not for extremely vague and nebulous things totally unrelated to whatever you are buying or selling.
the only change was it was brought to peoples attention is all.
I think it affects only sellers and it is new. 4th bullet: Provide false, inaccurate or misleading information;

I suppose the best case scenario now is that people who get money stolen from them by Paypal will mass sue in small claims courts pro se in forma pauperis.
Sorry, all are forced into binding arbitration. No more lawsuits.
"Captain, the ship's still sinking!"
"Drill more holes to let the air in so it can dry up the water!"
"But that didn't work the last hundred times we.."
"DRILL MORE HOLES! MY PANTS ARE GETTING WET!"
3 Stooges logic.
Bite the bullet then. If luxury is to give way for freedom then so be it.
gab really needs to capatalize on this.... its a golden moment.
What specific niche is PayPal filling? I thought that they were just an early internet thing
