I feel as though the article is leaving some critical details out in order to push a specific viewpoint/agenda.
Testimonials from "victims" are only the side of said victims, with no details from Paypal or anyone else as to why this has happened. It's left to the reader to imagine a large conspiracy, when there may very well be good reasons that many of these people were banned.
I'm reminded of the term "Dopelar effect": if you throw a lot of bad information and ideas at someone quickly enough, they start to sound more reasonable. But if you slow them down, they don't.
- rowls66 4y agoI agree. When Paypal was founded, there was amazement within the industry that they were able to run a money transfer service without being completely overrun by fraud. I was told that Paypal's real secret sauce was their fraud detection algorithms. It was those algorithms that created a product that others could not easily duplicate. Perhaps the fraudsters are catching up with Paypal and their algorithms, and as a result, Paypal needs to block more and more legitimate businesses that they are unable to distinguish from fraudulent businesses.
