EMERGENCY: @PayPal has permanently disabled our account saying "we're unable to continue offering our services to you at this time due to the nature of your business and the risk it poses to PayPal."
We are a child protection nonprofit. "Unacceptable risk?" 1/5pic.twitter.com/OGWTD6dEsh
Here is the Acceptable Use Policy that we are alleged to have infringed. Accounts of sex workers and adult content creators are frequently limited for infringing the term about "certain sexually oriented materials or services"… but a prevention NGO? 2/5https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/acceptableuse-full …
It is possible that we have been the subject of a mass reporting campaign, but… reporting us for what? Why wouldn't PayPal even reach out to us to give us the opportunity to respond to whatever false allegations may have been made? This is entirely unacceptable. 3/5
For now, we have suspended PayPal as a payment option for donations and membership subscriptions. Also affected will be PayPal Giving Fund donations through eBay, GoFundMe, and Humble Bundle. We will be reaching out to our members who used PayPal with further instructions. 4/5
Please... if you can donate to us via credit card or cryptocurrency, we could really use your support at this time. Meanwhile, we will be writing an article soon, exposing PayPal's unaccountable role as an unelected arbiter of sexual speech. 5/5https://prostasia.org/donations/give/
We really need to get governments to pass laws so that it's illegal for businesses, especially essential services like financial services, to arbitrarily discriminate and refuse business from potential customers.
There goes free market.....
Don't panic. You can create a new account.
You can't actually, they won't allow you to open a new PayPal account linked to the same bank account.
We empathize with the lack of transparency, lack of independent review, and lack of alternative to the monopolistic, arbitrary platform "economy". #PlatformAccountability can't happen in a vacuum, like these sort of bans. Good luck.
