Alex Jones Sues Paypal For Infowars Ban Over "Hate, Intolerance"

[homahr]

Uh oh... Looks like I triggered another snowflake.

It's funny when little bitches get triggered.

That concept makes a lot of sense when there are good alternatives, but sometimes there just aren't. Sometimes there is only one cake baker in town, and sometimes PayPal is the only large widely used and trusted payment service on the internet.

A lot of people I know use: https://venmo.com

There are other decent options for internet money usage.

1. it sounds like you just gave plenty of reason to NOT trust paypal. Especially for Jones target audience.
2. so your position is to make it harder for a competitor to get an opening to compete.

I don't know what the answer is.. I doubt that if AJ doesn't sue PayPal that some how some new payment system is going to rise up from the ashes and both companies will thrive and dominate from the whole incident.. although if that is the path they choose to take I would be just as supportive and wish them the best.. more than likely what will happen is AJ is just going to lose a bunch of money. That's why he is doing what he is doing.

What I know is there is a war going on, and allowing businesses to discriminate is probably #5,876 on the list of things I would like to see get accomplished. There is A LOT MORE at stake here. We could go a long way, have a relatively free society with free market money, almost no taxes or regulations, no foreign wars and still have laws against discriminating against people based on race, religion, etc.. because that is probably going to be one of the most difficult laws to remove.. Rand tried talking about that one a long time ago and dropped it like a hot potato.

The point is, it is stupid, and cuckworthy, to stand on this principle while we fall into a hot bed of lava. It is cuckworthy to let the left pull this kind of crap, while they say things like that it is ok for businesses to discriminate against libertarians, but nobody else, and that we should accept that because it is our principle.

It's like how the British used to fight the American Revolutionaries standing in a line while the Revolutionaries hid behind trees, kneeled down and used more advance warfare tactics. Let's not be the British.

PayPal owns Venmo.

Sorry. Not a contract dispute as you framed it earlier. I don't like PayPal going after Alex Jones, but they're a private company who didn't violate any contractual obligations.

Your sense of right and wrong seems to revolve around right and left more than a guiding ideology. This isn't the only example.

What part of, "PayPal, in its sole discretion... for any reason" do you not understand?

You progressives sicken me. You only care about "liberty" when it applies to your causes. You're as bad as the progressives on the left - only they're more honest about the treachery they seek to impose.

It's called equal protection under the law, if someone wants to change the law I will support them, that includes a judge ruling the law unconstitutional in this lawsuit.

If AJ loses this lawsuit because the law is overturned that will be a better outcome than if he wins.

The other issue at stake here is that Paypal lies and claims they don't ban people based on behavior that didn't involve their services, businesses don't get to run around claiming one thing and doing another, that is fraud and libertarians aren't supposed to support fraud.

I don't get it though. AJ is not a California resident and I doubt his business is incorporated there. Paypal is incorporated in Delaware. What does CA law have to do with it?

That is a good question, I would have to guess that AJ's business is incorporated in California.

BBB says he is incorporated in TX.

Then I don't see how California law is relevant, he must be trying to claim that their business relations take place in California but that doesn't make much sense.

Interesting- thanks for the info.

Wonder why people have such a hard time sending from Venmo to PP.

Here's a list of other sites:

Money movement is now easier than a few years ago.

Square is great for businesses and credit cards
Venmo , dwolla, zelle all come to mind for simple paypal style popular apps
Then you also have crypto would could be used

Probably because Paypal placed its headquarters in San Jose. [FONT=&quot]Paypal Headquarters 2211 N. 1[/FONT][FONT=&quot]st[/FONT][FONT=&quot] St. San Jose, CA 95131[/FONT]
