As Twitchy reported earlier, The Daily Wire on Thursday reported that PayPal’s new user policy included language that PayPal could pull $2,500 from a user’s account for “misinformation” or content that could hurt someone’s well-being. Now, a day later, PayPal has released a statement saying that the language about misinformation was misinformation and was never intended to be inserted into its new policy. And yet it was.
Lily Hay Newman (@lilyhnewman) ~ Re: this $2,500 PayPal misinfo fine “An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information. PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy. Our teams are working to correct our policy pages ...
{Cont.}"We’re sorry for the confusion this has caused.”
nevernudejorter (@nevernudejorter) ~ Never intended.
How many lawyers did this have to go through before it was made public?
AdamLowisz (@AdamLowisz) ~ Somehow I doubt this was inserted by accident. It had to go through multiple layers of management and numerous lawyers before being published. It's that these people live in woke progressive echo chambers so they didn't expect the pushback.
Rex Ratio (@vermontaigne) ~ Have they explained how this strange, egregious error may have occured? Were they hacked, like Joy Reid?
David (@Fl0ridaBoy74) ~ They weren’t hacked, they were exposed.
Wakko Warner (@tjztyger) ~ Translation: enough users closed accounts that it crashed their system.
Underground (@shannon4t76) ~ Too bad. I closed my account and am never using it again, @PayPal.
Sentinel (@Sentine70766346) ~ Yeah. Still going to close my account though. That it existed is problematic.
Filmtorres (@filmtorres) ~ Will PayPal fine themselves $2,500 for providing misinformation?
Corndalorian (@corndalorian) ~ Clearly they’re backtracking after criticisms like these. Damage control in full swing. Expect more denials and gaslighting as they try to salvage their image.
Jack O'Neill (@Jack2LOneill) ~ PAYPAL: "We are sorry for the confusion as we hoped this would go unnoticed. Please understand we will rescind this policy and reintroduce it again when the time is right."
Yep. THAT is the real PayPal response right there!
mike58520 (@mike58520) ~ People should delete their accounts just in case. There’s nothing preventing them from implementing this in the future. I didn’t use mine much but who wants their bank account connected to the mercy of these tech companies anyway.
Corey (@greensandfrways) ~ You just don’t accidentally put that kind of language in there. You meant it to be there, got caught and now are doing clean up.
MostlyHarmless (@harmless_human) ~ The fact is was even considered is enough for me.
