Is there a community protest or movement against this?

How do I close my account(s)? I will not support or be involved with a company that uses the Southern Poverty Law Center to determine who should be banned from Pay-Pal.

So, only a short time PayPal with SPLC and I can’t get into my account until I do several minutes of humiliating security moves and entries. Ever time I sign in I am asked to confirm info.  It is beyond my comprehension why PayPal would hook up with such an org.

If this is true, after 10 plus years here I will be moving my business elsewhere.

 

I have been with you for just over ten years, so is this true? And if so, I am going to have to move my business elsewhere. <removed>

Whatever happened to mailing in a donation?! Be patriotic and help the US Postal Service, a public trust might I add, by mailing in a donation. Freedom of speech comes in many forms. I'm not siding with anyone, just looking at it objectively. If you're rely on a company of all things when it comes to such ideas as freedom of speech you got it on backwards. Aren't the conservatives the ones that say corporations are people too?


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I really don't understand why a business would alienate a good share of their customers by supporting left-wing, anti-American, racist, hate-filled groups/practices/policies. Businesses should be in the business of doing business. Conservative's money is just as good as any other's money.

Is PayPal moving to activism supporting the left half of American polity rather than being politically neutral?

I have been a ebay member for as long as they have been in business. Each time I hear where ebay has got political I find other ways to get my products. First it was the Confederate flag removal  and now they team up with is hate group Splc   I will be waiting for ebay to come back to me , not me going back to them. Ebay left me not me leaving them. I am doing all my business with Amazon until I hear back from ebay

I will consider using PayPal in the future when they publicly denounce SPLC and publicly reinstate conservative accounts.  I have been a PayPal customer since their formation in 1999.
