Looks like I might be selling my PYPL at a loss. I hate losing money, but these fuckers may be too dar gone for me to keep their stock around.

I was going to ask WTF this even means, then I read the story and Paypal won't even say WTF it even means. It implies that they believe it is legal to steal $2500 from people for what ever reason they wish, as long as they have to "investigate" it as bad speech claims.
Regardless, will this even affect their bottom line? This money amount (probably) isn't enough to cause expensive lawsuits (bad publicity) and while it may drive away some business, a vast majority of their userbase will never even know this rule exists.

Probably correct. But, like DIS, they are entering a realm that I refuse to own.

Vehicles in the future will still need to exist. People will still need mobility. They will just be owned by megacorps and be automated driving electric vehicles. Which TSLA is still in the primary position to be producing.

So after Elon and another PYPL founder tweeted hiw fucked up this was and people started cloaing accounts they issued a statement saying the whole misinformation fine thing went out "in error" and it was never the case.
Its funny, i was looking at my account and how much of a loss I would realize if I sell. Then when I compared it to my entire portfolio being tanked right now it doesnt feel so painful. Its like if I sell im down this much, but I am currently down THIS much overall.

They back-peddled pretty quick, because a lot of people complained and said this was essentially just straight up theft. The lawyers probably looked at it and said if those people are right, Paypal could face criminal lawsuits, which essentially negates any protection they have against civil ones under 230 and their binding arbitration clauses.
It was a colossally stupid move on their part. I'm surprised it made it past their lawyers in the first place. But yes, it shows their leadership are all pieces of shit.

I said the same thing about vaccine mandates. I sometimes wonder if these companies even have legal counsel, or if they don't have the budget for it cause it all went to HR.

Back when I owned my ecommerce company in early 2010s and was doing a lot of business, Paypal grabbed $30K out of my corporate Paypal account for suspicious activity and massively fucked up my cash flow for a good amount of time. After fighting with them for over half a year about it, they finally returned it. At the time, I was spending a lot of time on message boards and other sites where so many people were complaining about the same thing that it became apparent that this was another revenue stream for them. They would literally steal millions of dollars from customers at any given time, lend it out to someone else and collect interest on it for few months, then return it to customers.
I canceled my accounts afterwards and never used them again, personally nor professionally. One of the worst, scummiest companies out there IMO.

Forgot to mention that I dumped my PYPL and realized the loss. I dislike realizing losses but I dislike the shit they did more.

Why anyone trusts Russia at this point is beyond me.

I’m sure it’s the truth, though the only offer they’d likely accept is capitulation.

Of course they are open to diplomacy. The only other option eventually leads to nukes. Doesnt mean they are gonna accept what is offered.
