PayPal banned Jihad Watch and the American Freedom Defense Initiative from receiving online donations using their platform because of the site’s “activities” after being designated as “hate sites” by left-wing groups.
Jihad Watch was reportedly banned from PayPal on Saturday after ProPublica – a George Soros funded investigative group – targeted the site and its director Robert Spencer (not to be confused with white nationalist Richard Spencer) in a hit piece that claimed the site was guilty of “extreme hostility toward Muslims.”
The assault on Jihad Watch began on Friday when Spencer received an email that he described as a “threatening” from ProPublica journalist Lauren Kirchner.
The email informed Spencer that she was including his site among a list of hate sites identified as such by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) – both widely considered to be left-leaning organizations.

What will be the Fed Gov response?
If Conservatives are silenced, the search for truth will die.
Never had pay pal & never will.
I First found this on:
PayPal Bans Conservative Sites After Soros-Funded Group Attacks Them

Some of the same content, but other things added. Both track well.
Nor do I, but when I use ebay it converts my card information to paypal for processing (I think).
I don’t need to use pay pal. I have an internet only credit card with a low max. I use that, pay pal wants to play to the left let them.
HAD paypal, and never will again. I am sick of corporate political nags. Once a company leaves retail to dictate policy I consider them a politician and vote no.
Paypal backed down later today. call off the dogs and update your posting
Jihadwatch itself is reporting that paypal backed down. Well, thank goodness for that.
A public accommodation refusing services to people. Reminds me of the lunch counter at Woolworths in Selma or something.
This is a financial interstate business, Wonder what regulatory agency covers this?
DOJ? They say we won an election or something.
Too late. I opened another account to replace paypal. It will take a bit to convert everything over. But it's over. Too little too late.
Naaaaa, they need to enjoy the bad PR a while. So they don’t forget.
For those that can it’s time to ban PayPal, or use other means more often. Hurt them where it counts. Personally don’t use it. Never have, and now never will.
well I was going to udse them for some things......not now
The more I hear, and see about those events at that city, the more I am convinced that it was a set up for the left to push this racist narrative to attack Trump and the old historical Confederacy.
I use PayPal to donate to Free Republic every month.
When will Free Republic get put on the banned list by PayPal?
Seriously. We need to fight this. It’s gotten out of hand.
How do I update what I have already posted?
Thanks for the update.
“PayPal backed down later today. call off the dogs and update your posting”
Don’t be in such a hurry, better to let them feel a bit of discomfort as a result of their hasty knee jerk decision.
