So #paypal have now decided to #shutdown the #accounts of the #freespeechunion - for defending people's #speech https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/pay.. The #founder also had his #personal #account #money *taken* with not method to #withdraw . It appears as though an #snp #mp is justifying #paypal 's actions...

#paypal have just announced a price increase for their services in the #us https://newsroom.paypal-corp.com/2021-06.. They did exactly the same to the #uk not so long ago. Their 'Why are we making this change?' section completely fails to answer the question it itself addresses. I will expect to see this for other services too. Interesting, it now makes #stripe a much cheaper payment option.
