I think that Monday I will be talking to the money transmission licensing board in my state. Maybe PayPal needs to explain to my state why they should retain the ability to continue to operate...not sure that their one-sided values are in alignment with the law. EDIT: remember that if you tolerate this behavior towards people you disagree with (I myself don't pay any attention to Jones as I think he is someone who doesn't really try to understand reality), then when the tables are turned, as they do quite often in politics, what basis will you have to complain about the poor treatment you or someone whose views you champion, receives?

I get that their guidelines aren't uniformly enforced, but how are the values themselves one-sided? Are you suggesting they should also ban people who voice support for Muslims or gun control? What is the "other side"?

A commercial business is not allowed to pick and chose who it’s customers are? I’m not picking sides in this discussion, only curious to understand your viewpoint and to learn more about what legal boundary PayPal crossed.

  There is an entire category of laws dedicated to discrimination by businesses, yes. The question is here is whether Mr. Jones is part of a protected class, and how broadly a company can use their terms of service (which is essentially discrimination by policy)

  They are in the manner of a public utility... they don't get to pick and choose. Should Alex Jones not be able to send mail? Should Alex Jones not be able to get a phone line?

What 'side' considers this type of speech anything but batshit crazy? Does thinking calling Hillary Clinton a serial rapist and murderer is absolutely insane make one a biased 'Liberal'?: When I think about all the children Hillary Clinton has personally murdered and chopped up and raped, I have zero fear standing up against her. Yeah, you heard me right. Hillary Clinton has personally murdered children. I just can't hold back the truth anymore. Hillary Clinton is one of the most vicious serial killers the planet's ever seen.[0] [0] http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/alex-jones-hillary-clinton-has-personally-murdered-and-chopped-up-and-raped-children/ http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/alex-jones-hillary-clinto...
