PayPal Shuts Down Access For Richard Spencer, Other Right-Wing Extremists

[ehrnst]

PayPal says it will cut off its services to hate groups and other users collecting donations to promote violence and racial intolerance in the wake of Saturday’s deadly clashes at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The online payment platform condemned extremist groups ― including neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan ― in a blog post Tuesday and vowed to crack down on their use of the company’s services.

“The events in Charlottesville are yet another disturbing example of the many forms that racism and hatred manifest,” Franz Paasche, PayPal’s senior vice president of corporate affairs and communications, wrote in the blog post.

“PayPal will – as we consistently have in the past – limit or end customer relationships and prohibit the use of our services by those that meet the thresholds of violating our policy,” he continued.

1. Great that Paypal is terminating their relationship with Spencer and extremists.

Regrettably, the money will move to the dark Web with a cryptocurrency. This announcement is also a "buy" signal for Bitcoin.

2. Yes, and it's nice that certain businesses that have aided and abetted the Amerinazi scum...

...have now decided not to collaborate with the enemy, i.e, PayPal, and GoDaddy, now that someone has been murdered and international attention has been focused on said scum. Yeah, nice and all that. Thanks. GoDaddy has known about The Stormer for years and done nothing... "First Amendment Rights" and all. PayPal has been one of the financial lifelines into an entire bevy of scumbag, alt-wrong causes and organizations. And let's NOT forget Farcebook, featuring all the news that's fit to distort. Fake news? Thy names are Faux News and Farcebook. Faux is understandable, they've been the official PR firm for the dark side for years. But Farcebook... love those clicks, eh Mark?

3. So they are late to the party. At least they are at the party now. I give them credit

for their actions in the present.

4. It's not just late to the party...the Stormer would have been NOTHING without...

...GoDaddy and PayPal providing hosting and access for both their online presence and their online funding apparatus. Sure, points for coming over to the side of the light now. Rah!

It's always fun until someone gets an eye put out... or murdered by a lost Amerinazi boy in a speeding car.

5. I am surprised to be happy about Paypal doing something right
