PayPal is Reportedly Bribing Users $15 in a Desperate Move to Stop Them from Closing their Accounts
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 10/14/2022 5:40:25 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

PayPal is reportedly bribing $15 worth of vouchers to account holders to prevent them from canceling their accounts, that only tells you how bad the situation is.

The Gateway Pundit reported that PayPal will begin fining users $2,500 directly from their accounts if they are found to be spreading “misinformation” in its newly updated policy.

Let me see....

I get $15 if I keep my account open.
I have $2500 charged to my credit card each time some anonymous wokester arbitrarily decides I've violated some new norm of of the day

Good thing I went to a school that thinks math is racist. Let me do the calculation here.....

Gee, I get $15 for free to keep my account open. Sure, I won't cancel!

*Most* people aren't that stupid.

They were just doing the bidding of their CCP overlords.

Feels great to have been one of the ones to cancel his account and to let them know exactly why I cancelled my account.

Mass boycotts WORK. They just need to be organized and actually fulfilled. They are the only tool we have left that is actually effective. Hit them in the pocketbook. The only drawback is laziness, if the boycott requires any personal effort like physically going to a bank and closing an account it fails because of pure human laziness overriding standing on principle. This needs to change to be successful and actually make a difference.

The stock has been in freefall. They’re trying to stop the bleeding.

This is an early rollout of the Chinese Social Credit score they want to use here. Anyone questioning the overlings will lose their money (won’t be able to ‘buy or sell’ without taking the mark of the beast).

$2,500 fine by fiat. Ban on Twitter and social media.

A new term I just hear this week:

DE-BANKED.

Kanye We was ‘debanked’ by JP Morgan Chase. The poster “Catturd” on Twitter was debanked by Bank of America (ironically enough).

If they don’t like your politics, no social media (which today is access to the public forum and debate of ideas), no bank, then bankrupt you personally.

Whatever you think of Alex Jones, a billion dollars? That’s a message from the elites that anyone questioning the narrative - however looney or out there they may be - can be destroyed and everything they own taken away from them.

Can MSNBC be sued for pushing the ‘vaccine’ or the false Russian hoax narrative for years? No.

Anyone deemed to be ‘on the right’ is now a suitable target for deplatforming, debanking, bankrupting, and - at some point soon - off to the Gulag for re-education.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

I just tried to close my account and they make it as hard as possible to figure out how.

Maybe they will have to sue all of us who closed our accounts, for damaging their brand and devaluing they company.

Maybe the Biden FTC will get involved because we are trying to manipulate their stock price. Haha

They say the $2500 was included in the new terms erroneously and they quickly rescinded it.

I don’t have a PayPal account.
I missed out on $15 for my foolishness of not having a PayPal account.
