@ 2022/10/11Claims it was all a terrible mistake
PayPal has backed down on a controversial change to its terms and conditions which would have fined users $2,500 if they advance purported “misinformation” or present risks to user “wellbeing.”
The company was planning to expand its “list of prohibited activities” on 3 November 3. Among the changes are prohibitions on “the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials” that “promote misinformation” or “present a risk to user safety or wellbeing.”
Users are also barred from “the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.” The policy applies to actions taken using PayPal’s platform and it was up to Paypal to disi.
