  • twojamesroberts Neanne Derthal (@twojamesroberts) reported

    @mlleodile1 @DailyWireNews @VenturaReport 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 and this language was never intended to be inserted in our polic

  • RavCrypto Ravishing Crypto ⚡Position Sniper⚡ (@RavCrypto) reported

    @patrickbetdavid Paypal have been taking money from users even before it was just now that most if them shared their stories. Twitter had the issues spread like wildfire.

  • GOPLatinoPDX J Sanchez (@GOPLatinoPDX) reported

    @ChuckCallesto Cancelling the credit card I have opened with PayPal and will be closing down my account @PayPal

  • reachTrees trees (@reachTrees) reported

    PayPal has made a serious error. They can now charge you $2500 for breaking their new policy on misinformation. Of course, misinformation simply means anything they don't like. Users beware.

  • pierreandpohl Pierre Pohl plus (@pierreandpohl) reported

    @HeadOnFire3 @doggy2965 @TimKennedyMMA Some journalist getting donations via PayPal and spread new research on privacy or related to war. I do net see protection there. Yes misinformation is a problem, but the final definition is not that easy.

  • GrandellRich RichGrandell (@GrandellRich) reported

    @joe_teixeira @PayPal Yeah, you'll bring down PayPal. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • CraxyMitch TheGadsdenNUCLEARMAGAPatriotDart (@CraxyMitch) reported

    I found the way around this error - my account with @PayPal has been deleted.

  • YoderSecreto Secret Yoder Man (@YoderSecreto) reported

    It wasn't an error @PayPal @AskPayPal, you ******* got caught. AUPs don't just get posted by purple haired social media interns, they are vetted by legal, multiple times, before seeing the light of day. Everyone should abandon PayPal if they haven't already.

  • DefundTheFBI DefundTheFBI 🐳 (@DefundTheFBI) reported

    PayPal is a big monster tech but the management that's there is a disaster. IDK if Peter Thiel still has his stake in it but they have Eliot Management in there trying to fix the disaster. Threatening the userbase with that AUP trial balloon was a HUGE mistake.

  • ShannonFairban8 Mrs. Chase 🇺🇲☮️ (@ShannonFairban8) reported

    PayPal told FOX Business 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 and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy’ - WRONG ANSWER.

  • scoda76 SocialRekage (@scoda76) reported

    @Lukewearechange Deleted my account. @PayPal ****** around and found out. Error or not, they showed it was something they would be willing to do.

  • JuliusRoman10 JuliusRoman (@JuliusRoman10) reported

    @kfarrellauthor @madiabulafia Irrelevant every private company and consumer group have this policy it is a no brainer the issue a baker making the best bread and believes 2020 was Stolen and Jan6 a fed plot they are banned and fined THAT IS SICK . DONE WITH PayPal

  • edison0xyz Edison (@edison0xyz) reported

    Not your keys, not your money. @PayPal may have backed down from fund seizures. But remember - they can always do it. Not today - but maybe in the future.

  • jaytea_bsv $jaytea@179 (@jaytea_bsv) reported

    @kurtwuckertjr @PayPal Do we have a chance to fix this?

  • AmericaFirst_71 Joe Cactus (@AmericaFirst_71) reported

    @PayPal I had to cancel them. Between this policy 'error' and the amount of people I see complaining about their accounts being hacked, I couldn't keep it open anymore. How would that even get put into their TOS by accident anyway? Some rogue employee? Did they fire everyone involved?

  • jamestmccue James McCue (@jamestmccue) reported

    So cigarette is trending but not because Paypal's new AUWhatever says you can't by cigarettes using paypal? Cigarette's are bad and companies like CVS have the right not to SELL them, but a company that issues credit cards not ALLOWING you to buy something that is legal? Odd, no?

  • Runningtowardh1 Runningtowardhappiness (@Runningtowardh1) reported

    @ScottAdamsSays I had trouble sleeping because nobody can afford to wait until November to cancel their Paypal accounts. You have to do it now, before you are on the ropes and need decide whether to consent your life away so you don't lose your business.

  • busslarrya Larry Buss (@busslarrya) reported

    @kimKBaltimore PayPal is great. What is all the bs about? I've been using it since it's inception and never had an issue.

  • jaredkmiecik Jared | Online Arbitrage 📦 (@jaredkmiecik) reported

    Me: PayPal is terrible, let them burn Also me: *uses PayPal 10x a day to checkout*

  • JamesEMorgan07 AmonFritz (@JamesEMorgan07) reported

    @bennyjohnson So paypal floated a trial balloon 🎈 and it got shot down.

  • thedrhistorian Freddie Stowers Medal of Honor WWI (@thedrhistorian) reported

    @bgmasters Hold up your benefactor owns PayPal. Why not fix it now.

  • salty_alaskan SaltyAlaskan (@salty_alaskan) reported

    @thevivafrei @PayPal @davidmarcus The real problem here is that enough people thought and still think this was a good idea. People who think like that aren't going to stop screwing with people they disagree with, they will just try to do it in ways that are not so obvious.

  • busslarrya Larry Buss (@busslarrya) reported

    @disclosetv Interesting thing is that I've been using PayPal since it's inception and NEVER had an issue. Smart enough to never use the service as a bank, simply a payment method. I guess other people were not as smart, oh well.

  • MaxNordau max (@MaxNordau) reported

    @ChristinaPushaw Whether it was "in error" is a distinction without a difference. That PayPal even considered the policy and drafted legal language around it is reason enough to run away as fast as you can.

  • Core2Et ETCore2 (@Core2Et) reported

    @kylenabecker @PayPal @Paypal can't be reached unless you login, which you can't when you lose your password, unless you enter your password. #Paypal is a feedback loop scam. #Paypal.

  • firstimelonely s 🧡 (@firstimelonely) reported

    PayPal not working on subkshop makes me sad bc the go I was in was canceled and I wanna buy my albums BUT I DONT HAVE ANY OTHER WAY TO BUY IT bc I cant find my wallet 😭😭😭

  • Kumalaka Pierre Avante (@Kumalaka) reported

    @Flippin2AM I suspect that is my issue as I have 1 cent in my account there. I have deleted my banking and credit cards from PayPal and have no where to transfer the penny anymore. I don't want to add anything back just for a penny. I will call them Monday

  • ChristinaPushaw Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) reported

    Also, make no mistake, I do not believe this was “in error” nor do I have any illusions about the woke mob that makes these policies at corporations like PayPal. I’m not using it again nor Venmo. What are some non-tyrannical alternatives?

  • edison0xyz Edison (@edison0xyz) reported

    Not your keys, not your money. @PayPal may have backed down from the fund seizures. But remember - they always can freeze your funds. Not today, but maybe in the future. In Web 3.0, you are in control of your funds and no one can seize your assets.

  • CrichtonCathy Cathy Crichton (@CrichtonCathy) reported

    @Kumalaka @bennyjohnson @PayPal Friend of mine is having the same issue. I’m guessing too much activity on their site possibly?
