Peter Lemkin Wrote:What excuse is PayPal using for their actions and is this not illegal political discrimination?! A little research into the originators of PayPal turned up ultra-rightists. Though is is now owned by only mildly-right eBay, it seems the original 'crew' still owns it by proxy [shares]. Sickening. I'm sure they'd not stop payments to some neo-con or neo-Nazi group.Yes, it will be interesting to know what is happening in the back ground there.
I'm sure there are plenty of racist and nazi sites using Paypal to collect money and sell goods. But I am sure that Paypal would say that it is just business and they can't be discriminatory (or can't check out every site personally) as that would interfere with their flow of business and that would be sacrilegious to interfere with business. But if they want to 'no longer be associated with the campaign' then that is their freedom to do so and their right to do business as they wish and not to interfere in their business or make business restrictive. :deal: In other words we have to comply with Paypal decisions and Paypal can do what it wants at any time with out notice.
