PayPal cuts off payments to white supremacist groups

PayPal, the popular online payment platform, announced late Tuesday night (Aug. 15) that it would bar users from accepting donations to promote hate, violence and intolerance following revelations that the company played a key role in raising money for a white supremacist rally that turned deadly.
The company, in a lengthy blog post , outlined its longstanding policy of not allowing its services to be used to accept payments or donations to organizations that advocate racist views. PayPal singled out the KKK, white supremacist groups and Nazi groups - all three of whom were involved in organizing last weekend's Charlottesville rally.
"Intolerance can take on a range of on-line and off-line forms, across a wide array of content and language," the company wrote. "It is with this backdrop that PayPal strives to navigate the balance between freedom of expression and open dialogue - and the limiting and closing of sites that accept payments or raise funds to promote hate, violence and intolerance."

Took them too long IMO. I'm boycotting racist PayPal.

As a non-public entity, they can do that if they wish.

Sounds pretty intolerant of them.

Paypal goes out of business since only superior white people have jobs anyway!

They should cut off all violent and hateful groups. Not sure they will though.

They aren't government or public, so they can do what they want, but
They going to allow BLM to continue?

I wonder if they did the same thing for Muslim terrorist organizations front groups?

I feel like nobody got the memo that white supremacist has been replaced by white nationalist as the preferred euphemism.
Posted on 8/16/17 at 1:53 pm to LSUTANGERINE
And Paypal had to let everyone know about it.
Posted on 8/16/17 at 1:54 pm to LSUTANGERINE
I dumped Paypal about a year ago.

Their funding comes from government checks, not PayPal.
Posted on 8/16/17 at 1:54 pm to LSUTANGERINE
People still use PayPal?
