Have you heard the "news" about PayPal? If you've been paying attention to the news within the past 36 hours, you may have witnessed the fall of the world's largest online payment company and longtime censorship czar of Conservatives and their companies alike. Believe it or not, on Saturday, 10/8/22, PayPal updated their terms of use to include their ability to fine their users $2,500.00 for anything the company deems as posted "misinformation" by the user. Yes, this is entirely true. Only after the massive backlash on social media regarding the new Orwellian policy and calls for people to remove their money from the giant by prominent influencers did PayPal release a statement that the new policy was posted in error. So, let's get this straight. PayPal, whom have been canceling millions of user accounts due to their personal or business accounts being tied to Conservative based products or politics now believes they have not only the power to cancel your accounts based whether they go against their political beliefs, also now believes they're entitled to your money if they do not agree with your social posts or products. The PayPal account for Wimkin, a Wimkin sister company account as well as my personal account were canceled in January of 2021 as Wimkin offers true free speech social media they cannot control, and due to the fact we sold Trump T-shirts and other merchandise that was of a Conservative political nature. In addition to PayPal canceling Wimkin and myself for founding the platform, Capital One also followed suit by canceling two Wimkin business accounts as well as my personal account for the exact same reasons PayPal did. I have some questions: 1) How does a worldwide, decades old online payment company update their policies on several areas of their website, publish such an egregious policy change drenched in overreach and faux or incorrectly perceived authority, in error? 2) What could possibly give PayPal the belief they have the right to fine you $2,500.00 for what they deem as "misinformation?"3) What type of surveillance of its users is PayPal incorporating on third party social media sites? 4) Has PayPal partnered with other big tech censoring juggernauts such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others to obtain your data and information and even further their censorship of Conservatives in an organized manner? 5) Is it legal for PayPal or other companies to "fine" its users based on what they deem to be misinformation shared by their users? 6) What is misinformation and who deems what such is? I have many more questions, but the bottom line is this: Big Tech is looking to crush Conservatives and their ability to earn, as well as their ability to advance any and all Conservative movements. Big Tech is (but not limited to) Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, PayPal, Venmo, big banks, mainstream media and of course, Democrats, all in tandem and working against you. No, really think about it... Google and Apple run the overwhelming majority of software on all phones (Android and iOS) in the USA and are partnered with all major 5G data networks. Not only that, they run your email, what is downloadable in the Google Play and Apple App Stores, and in many instances, Apple and Google Pay manage your ability to pay for products online or which are sold within their platforms. For many of us, PayPal and Venmo (which PayPal also owns) was a viable alternative to receive payment for our goods, services and products. It is clear these companies are aligning against us and this is no longer just narrative. These companies believe they are entitled to YOUR money based on anything you say, sell or share they deem misinformation. Let that sink in and truly reflect on where your money is and who may have access to such. We the People hold the power. Since PayPal's war upon Conservatives, we are winning. In the past year, PayPal stock is down 56.16% and in just the past month, is down over 12%. It's not any better for Facebook which in the past year, the Meta stock has fallen -203 points or over 60% of its value. Again, even when Big Tech does not want you to be free so badly as collectively working against your success and even "fining you," YOU ARE FREE to cancel their services. The time has long passed to do such. The only way to take big tech back is to show that you will not stand for their draconian and fascist ways. Remove your money from PayPal and Venmo right now. Cancel that Gmail account. Do not use YouTube anymore at all and feed Google their billions in ad dollars per day. Cancel your Facebook and move to Wimkin or another free speech alternative. There are plenty of ways to continue to hurt big tech. We hold the power and that power ironically is cancel culture. It's long past time for We the People to cancel big tech. The sooner you do, the better your lives and the lives of others will become. Be safe and protect your hard work, investments and loved ones. The future is yours. Take it back before it's too late. - Jase
