To be honest I appreciate PayPal doing this.
The more we see prominent cases of deplatforming, the more people are going to take it as a serious problem.
One can always hide behind some pr bullshit when it comes to political free speech and so on. But porn it is finally something enough people care about to take it seriously.
- BLKNSLVR 7y agoIt depends if the de-platforming is happening for reasons of social outrage / offense (bad) or commercial reasons (maybe not 'good' but at least 'better'). If it's about this particular industry sub-group having a much-higher-than-normal rate of fraud or returns or buyers remorse or whatever causes more hassle to PayPal's processes than they're worth, then that makes commercial sense.
- listenallyall 7y agoit's mostly about ill-conceived laws intended to protect vulnerable people, which in fact harm those exact people
- Rapzid 7y agoA lot of the laws were simply passed under the guise of helping people but were in fact passed to further peoples moral agendas. Easy tell that's the case when data comes along that contradicts the laws efficacy..
- 1337biz 7y agoI don't even think people are differentiating that much about deplatforming. I am fine if the sentiment growth that thinks'those bad corporation have too much power and can't just start banning users without a clear cause'. The free speech issue is to narrow.
