PayPal Bans Infowars

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


What a dangerous time we live in when payment processors and banks start banning you based on your political ideology.

Infowars reports:

Payment processor PayPal has banned Infowars in what represents nothing less than a political ploy designed to financially sabotage an influential media outlet just weeks before the mid-term elections.

Company representatives called Infowars yesterday to confirm that PayPal was terminating its agreement after “a comprehensive review of the Infowars site.”

The company claimed that Infowars violated PayPal’s “acceptable use policy” because it “promoted hate and discriminatory intolerance against certain communities and religions.”

No specific examples whatsoever were officially provided to back up this claim, which relies on a nebulous definition of “hate” which is so vague that virtually anything could qualify.

Off record, Infowars was told that criticism of Islam and opposition to transgenderism being taught to children in schools were two of the examples of “hate”.

The ban was instituted despite InfowarsStore.com containing no political content whatsoever, emphasizing how the decision was a broader attack on the Infowars platform.

PayPal representatives said they were giving Infowars 10 days to switch payment processors, after which all services would be terminated.

The ban was handed down just weeks after George Soros-funded group Right Wing Watch published an article demanding that PayPal terminate its agreement with Infowars for “egregious violations of the platform’s own terms of service.”

Right Wing Watch routinely violates copyright by uploading entire sections of other people’s videos to YouTube without any pretense of fair use, yet the group’s channel has not been deleted.

Right Wing Watch is owned by People For the American Way, which is funded by George Soros’ Open Society Initiative.

In addition, the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post published an article less than two weeks ago that served as a dog whistle for PayPal to ban Infowars.

Entitled As Alex Jones rails against ‘Big Tech,’ his Infowars stores still thrive online, the article bemoaned the fact that despite Alex Jones being banned by every other Big Tech platform, the censorship had, “left intact key elements of his moneymaking machinery — digital storefronts.”

The article then specifically mentions how Infowars uses PayPal to generate a “high rate of sales”.

This is yet another example of a competing media outlet abusing its dominant position to lobby to shut down a smaller media outlet.

PayPal banning Infowars is the ultimate culmination of what represents a de facto Communist Chinese-style social credit score, where first you are demonized, then censored, before your basic ability to operate freely in the marketplace is withdrawn.

      It won’t last. The White house has already drafted an executive order addressing this discrimination. They should also create a multi million dollar fine for it too!!!

      Bill Hicks Jones was never censored or bothered until half the country had realized that he is nothing but controlled opposition. They know that only a few fools still listen to him.

        The only thing your post has accomplished, is to confirm to everyone that you are indeed a clueless fool.
