- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoIf anyone was following the news about PayPal working with ADL to stop wrong thinkers having accessing payments/receipts, erm “Fight Extremism” (great until your views are considered extreme, and if you don’t think that’s possible consider a talk with your 10 year ago self about vaccine passports or forced vaccination or trans athletes or border/immigration or canceling comedians or ending the filibuster, etc)… I don’t think I can support anyone having even remotely strong market dominance anywhere for payments. [0] Maybe Stripe can just process payments, but who knows because “silence is violence” now. They did ban the Trump Store after the 11/6 fiasco [1] despite nothing on the store breaking any TOS or referencing the capital riot, just a broader “This guy is bad news!” condition they could/would/should have used at any time.
