TBP RESPONSE TO PAYPAL’S OUTRAGEOUS ACTIONS

PayPal Spreads 'Misinformation' on PayPal Fining People for Spreading ' Misinformation' | the deep dive

Considering just about everything posted on TBP would be considered mis-information by the left wing lunatics running Paypal and the rest of the Silicon Valley social media censorship police, the news about them fining Paypal users $2,500 per violation would cripple TBP within a day. I have been accepting donations through Paypal for about six years. Even though they were forced to revoke their ridiculous policy change, millions of people are canceling their Paypal accounts.

“Agreed,” Musk wrote in reply to Marcus.

The attacks on free and open discussion are becoming more and more widespread. Now, as Toby Young explains in an article this morning, the payment service PayPal has closed the accounts of the Daily Sceptic, which often publishes criticism of the government policy in various matters. 

PayPal has also closed the account of the Free Speech Union, which provides support to people whose freedom of opinion is under attack, for example those fired from their jobs because of their opinions. PayPal has even gone as far as to close the rarely used personal account of Toby Young, who is in charge of both the Daily Sceptic and the Free Speech Union, and is also associate editor of The Spectator, one of the world’s most respected newspapers.
