Is there a community protest or movement against this?

I've stopped using more than a few major Credit Cards for similar abuses.   I've been with PayPal for a very long time using it for ebay but I won't be using my account anymore until I see changes or you can just ban me also.  I'm a Conservative and I will take my business elsewhere.   To think that Liberals/Democrats etc call Conservatives names such as "Nazis" when they are the one's acting like Nazis and now PayPal has joined in on the fascist fun of the Leftists by banning users for their Political beliefs.  Religion will be next on their list also.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has been entirely captured by its Democrat employees.  Yet Papal provides financial services to American citizens,  among others.  Some of us are suspicious California Big Tech has similarly neen entirely captured by it's own Demicrat employees.

Paypal,

Are these articles stating truth? Or is this Fake News?

There are many more articles online that can be sited on this subject.

If what is stated in these articles is true and the people sited are blocked from PayPal service along with the alleged partnering with the SPLC because these blocked people are Conservative, I will save you the trouble of figuring out if I am Conservative. I am. I am a Constitutional Conservative. I love America and I love all American people.

Refering to Article No1.;

For the record, I accepted Paypal's decision to boycott SC on whether or not the transgendered individual has the right to choose what restroom to use based on how that individual feels, which defies my common sense, but still I continued with PayPal because I like the service very much.

From article No1; 

PayPal's Schulman (CEO) said his philosophy is this: "Businesses need to be a force for good in those values and issues that they believe in."

Absolutely! But we don't live under a Despotic or a Socialist Marxist government that uses it power at will to use censorship tactics, which, in my opinion, this article alludes to what PayPal is doing or has done. And if Shulman's statement was dictated correctly and he actually said the words, and now, knowing what kind of organization PayPal is allegedly partnered with, the SPLC, then no wonder he stated nothing in his philosophy about what else “Businesses need to be a force for good in”, as in a construing of GOOD business practice, for example, the promoting of True Capitalism which is not devoid of regulation by government but is or is supposed to be devoid of political censorship.  Regulation is set down on business by Congress under our US Constitutional system. Religious ideals and practices giving an individual or business the right to refuse service based on their religious beliefs is protected by Constitutional Law, but then this is not a Political thing, this is LAW!

Even CNN reported that PayPal decided to block white supremacist money after the SC clash based on the (skewed?) reports and council from SPLC? Great! Please don’t promote racism of any sort. But blocking Conservatives because we may be Trump followers (or not), are deemed by PayPal and the SPLC as racists? That’s idiotic, insulting, and bigoted thinking.

What PayPal is allegedly doing, by censoring and/or blocking individuals and businesses it chose with the help from SPLC, is purely Political Favoritism under a Progressive Marxist Ideology, PLEASE tell me I'm wrong.... and is 180 degrees out from the ideology of what our Country was founded on as a Constitutional Federal Republic.

I hope what the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EEF), a liberal think tank, states in in Article No 1, sinks in.

And so, if it turns out that PayPal is refusing people or businesses service because of their individual political views that don’t agree with PayPal’s then PayPal will lose my patronage and I will discontinue with PayPal. Or PayPal can just go ahead and block me if it wishes to do so, which will unabashedly, thoroughly, and irrefutably answer my opening question. You see PayPal, it's just as easy for me to cancel with you and go to one of your competitors for similar service as it is or you to block me. I hope it does not come to either.

Regards,

John <removed>

Conservative

If PayPal is utilizing the terribly biased and hyper-partisan, the SPLC, which has drifted from its initial purposes to being itself a bigoted cash-cow for its leadership, musn't people of principle choose to abandon it?

I would like to know what the nature of the relationship between PayPal and the SPLC is.  What service does the SPLC provide to PayPal?  Will PayPal alter its business practices based on guidance provided by the SPLC?  Will PayPal members/customers be made aware of these changes?  Will Members/customers using PayPal be given an opportunity to "opt out" of SPLC related activities, and continue doing business as we have in the past?

Because we'd rather voice our opinion on the Community Forum. You can see the issue is blowing up and you are trying to stop the dam from collapsing.
