You know, I've read a few articles on this, and one of them had an interesting quote that I couldn't help but laugh at.

The company told media outlets: "PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and the language was never intended to be inserted into our policy." The payments platform said the policy update "went out in error that included incorrect information."

Bullshit. Paypal is a multi-billion dollar company, they don't do something like this without it being thoroughly vetted before it reaches the public. Especially these days, when everyone and their dog is all about optics and perception.

They meant it, every word of it. Someone over there was doing what lefties love most, using their professional position to exert power in favor of their personal ideology, with the approval of those in charge. And the only reason they're rolling it back and talking all this nonsense about "it was an error" is because it unexpectedly blew up in their faces.

They also make it undeniably obvious that the fact checkers are just the lefts personal Gestapo. They're claiming this is "mIsInFoRmAtIoN" even though thousands of people saw it with their own eyes. The language they use in this article: https://www.truthorfiction.com/paypal-misinformation-fine-controversy/

"In the tweet above, right-wing pundit and longtime disinformation purveyor Candace Owens advised her followers to stop using PayPal; commenters asked for additional information." First of all they had to emphasise on "right wing" secondly their bias showed when they spoke about her using emotional language "RIGHT WING PUNDIT LONGTIME DISINFORMATION PURVEYOR" that is political speak right there.

I don't like Candace Owens nor am I right wing but if you claim to be an unbiased "fact checker" that's the sort of biased language you should avoid using.

Ministry of Truth in action, we've always been at war with Eastasia.

The Ministry of Truth is going to be very busy for the next two weeks.

Of course they are still going to fine people for hatefulness, such can be pretty much be defined whichever way they like.

If that's still in there then there was no mistake.

They are acting like an intern tripped and fell into the photocopier while holding her 1984 book and somehow their official account this posted a crazy policy for the users.

You'd think that but my past interactions with them left me scratching my head wondering if they exclusively hired lobotomy patients. They might just be that stupid.

Well I just phoned them and it was the best customer service experience I've had for months.

Shame it was to clear my account.

Is there really a difference between a communist and a lobotomy patient?

Yes the latter at least still has some of their brain left.

While the former has all of it "left".
