    @PayPal It also took me a few taps to close my account that I have had for almost 20 years. Someone thought up that policy, error my ***.

  • tongsammy311 Tongsammy311 (@tongsammy311) reported

    @DanHollaway @PayPal It's a simple fix. Just don't use their bullshit service anymore. Let's see how fast PayPal changes their minds.

  • gr0wingm0ney Irritable Investor (@gr0wingm0ney) reported

    @FintwitPeaked No problem. Can we checkout via PayPal?

  • Sentinel___2112 Sentinel2112 (@Sentinel___2112) reported

    @BraunGeo @SparkyBru @PayPal Thanky !!! I was just trying to find more info...just gonna shut it down anyway. I have my own standards for doing business. When corporation's cross the line, they can continue without my support

  • DevinCr87019475 Hertion333 (@DevinCr87019475) reported

    Love commission amazing Japanese artist, but all my money is in PayPal, so that sucks @PayPal really needs to fix their ****

  • MelvinP63649380 Monk (@MelvinP63649380) reported

    @Jules31415 Bs!! They felt the backlash & walked it back,there was no " errors" or " mistakes" made. The ridiculous, horrible idea was rebuked instantly & they obviously witnessed the amount of accounts being closed in droves! Hell,I already closed mine & my Venmo also. Fk PayPal

  • mjveith No Mandates, No Masks, No Vax (@mjveith) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal An error which made it through multiple doublechecks. Fact remains someone put it I initially and thought it was good policy

  • Keydric Keydric (@Keydric) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal At some point, it was written down as an option. It didn't just write itself.

  • laten_c Peter Nooski (@laten_c) reported

    @johndefeo The "'Twas an error" line amuses. PayPal published the agreements on 10/5. Think they had to call a few lawyers back to the office this weekend?

  • RAD8171 Trackmoto95 (@RAD8171) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal No tolerance for this. I shut it down.

  • TGallinetti Tamala Gallinetti (@TGallinetti) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal I doubt this was an error. More likely that they realized their mistake when so many people cancelled their accounts

  • SopranoPaulie Paulie soprano (@SopranoPaulie) reported

    @catturd2 Paypal going down 30% tomorrow. Poor sobz.

  • mjveith No Mandates, No Masks, No Vax (@mjveith) reported

    @mkibbe @PayPal Correct it wasn’t an error if it made it through multiple drafts and revisions. Someone actually proposed and promoted this dystopian censorship

  • MarcusBeam1 Marcus Beam (@MarcusBeam1) reported

    @Spear_Owl I don’t - but that’s quite the error. PayPal will generally close your account for any reason these days.

  • baileysuep PSB (@baileysuep) reported

    @PrisonPlanet Not just PayPal, their subsidiary, Venmo, needs to go as well. The language that went out in error didn't accidentally fall from the sky into their network. It's always been their plan for control, they just didn't want anyone to know yet.

  • ManiaMaiden 🇺🇸Anna Clark🇺🇸 (@ManiaMaiden) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal They’ll just reword it and slip it in after all the fuss dies down.

  • marcykey50 Marcella (@marcykey50) reported

    @AskPayPal @geranthony2 No address the issue publicly.

  • bexneffect Rebecca Clark🇺🇸 (@bexneffect) reported

    @WadeMiller_USMC @PayPal Waiting for my balance to transfer to bank then down she goes..

  • theonegeoffg American Patriot Press 🇺🇸 (@theonegeoffg) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal The only error for them was the fact that it was published. It doesn't matter if they follow through now. What matters is someone at the top spent the time, had the meetings and crafted this policy. It exposes their philosophy which is more dangerous.

  • fnl053r FNL053R (@fnl053r) reported

    @JohnEDeaton1 It's been reported that PayPal's policy change about "misinformation" went out in error and included "misinformation".

  • RobsPsy Psy Robs✝️ 🚹🍙🍵🇺🇲 (@RobsPsy) reported

    @stillgray I'm not using @PayPal so not a big problem.

  • sujewafantastic NYC Indie Filmmaker Sujewa Ekanayake (@sujewafantastic) reported

    3 - from link above - "A PayPal spokesperson told FOX Business that an updated Acceptable Use Policy notice ‘recently went out in error that included incorrect information,’ adding that the company ‘is not fining people for misinformation..."

  • GhostWritingUSA Penny Taylor (@GhostWritingUSA) reported

    @MagaBulldog @PayPal @Paypal seems to be trying to immolate China & their social credit system... if you don't tow the line, they'll simply shut down your credit, or steal your money. I guess we have finally crossed over to live under communist rule.

  • disneydanny312 Danny Edwards 🔥 🔥 🔥 🦅 (@disneydanny312) reported

    @NewsBecker @kylenabecker So they “misinformed” their customer base by sending the AUP in error? Shouldn’t the recourse mean that PayPal must penalize themselves $2,500 to every customer?

  • LaTigreBlue La Tigre Blue (@LaTigreBlue) reported

    @ChristinaPushaw Nah, this was not an error. Since morning, people were complaining about this. If it was an error, it would have been fixed since then. Too much folks must have closed their accounts. Paypal needs to remember that they can't abuse people the way their friends in the doj do.

  • DanSalisbury9 Dan Salisbury (@DanSalisbury9) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal Error … believable?

  • mchowla Mike Chowla (@mchowla) reported

    @abbzug_b @davidmarcus @PayPal Will you agree to pay me $2500 in damages if in my sole discretion, I determine you are spreading misinformation? If not, you’ve proven the problem with PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy.

  • keepcalm_BetoOn KeepCalmandBetoOn 🛹☮️ 🪁✌🏼 (@keepcalm_BetoOn) reported

    @th3h1ggsb0s0n Never have had an issue with PP. i just am aware of any scam email posing as PayPal. Guess Tommy got scammed. Or did he? He sure likes to collect the cash based on BS. And the everyday people I know also haven’t been scammed.

  • mmalooch malooch (@mmalooch) reported

    Down with PayPal.

  • k2kQue Stop Complying k2kQue (@k2kQue) reported

    @JessicaRiggs11 @RealBrysonGray Even if it was an error, they have already being destroying small business by taking away their accounts for years. If people lose their YouTube accounts, they lost Twitter, Facebook, PayPal, etc
