Capitalism: Corporatings move further on terminations
  • PayPal said today that it will cancel accounts used by far-right group the Proud Boys as well as multiple accounts from anti-fascist groups.

    The move will make it much harder for the groups to raise money online. The decision is the latest act of “de-platforming” by the tech industry, which has been grappling with how to effectively handle users that promote hateful or violent ideologies.

    So, this time they moved further than far-right groups.

    This includes Proud Boys account as well as an account used by its founder, Gavin McInnes, PayPal said. The company is also canceling accounts for Atlanta Antifa, Antifa Sacramento, and the Anti-Fascist Network. PayPal had previously canceled accounts for Antifa Philadelphia, Antifa Arkansas, Belfast Antifa, and Rose City Antifa. The company also canceled an account used by Tommy Robinson, leader of the far-right group the English Defence League.

    Note how they pick up speed.

    2019 will be year of tens of thousands of accounts banned, including individual users who posted something on their social networks that corporations won't like.
