Twitter SLAMS PayPal After Bribing Users With $15 To Prevent More Account Deactivations
Woke payment processor PayPal is reportedly bribing its users to stay on the platform with $15 vouchers.
This comes after the company faced massive backlash from people on both sides of aisles for its now-backtracked announcement to fine users $2,500 for spreading so-called “misinformation.”
After users threatened to ditch PayPal forever over this announcement, the company shamelessly walked their comments back. Claiming it was said “in error.”
“An [Accepted Use Policy] notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information,” said a company spokesperson. “PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy. We’re sorry for the confusion this has caused.”
PayPal’s walk back was too little too late, as the company’s shares plummeted when the stock market opened the Monday following the controversial announcement.
“Sorry PayPal, but it was no accident those words were even typed in the first place,” wrote one user on Twitter.
“Regardless of whether or not they were going to be enforced or applied in any way doesn’t matter. The world now sees you in a different light for it, and now you’re paying for it,” they continued, perfectly summarizing most people’s opinion of the payment processor.
The company’s stock price continues to plummet at the time of this writing, with users quickly deleting their accounts and moving all their money away from PayPal.
Just moved all money I had in my PayPal account out of it. And I very must suggest you do the same.
This is serious.
They are delaying the transfer “pending review” for 12 hours. But at least it’s done. #PayPal is dead. pic.twitter.com/Cr1EA1yQjh

Now, PayPal is offering “free money” to prevent even more account closures.
“Do not take their $15 bribe. Delete your PayPal account,” wrote Ian Miles Cheong on Twitter.

So while PayPal tries to pretend their $2,500 misinformation scam was not originally intentional, critics are pointing out that the company still hasn’t retracted the “hate speech” element of its terms of service.
PayPal is about to learn a very tough lesson about messing with Americans and their finances. Especially when it comes to made up rules thanks to wokeness.
How low can it go?
I'll accept $2500 to stick around. And I can fine the company $2500 any time they say something I dislike.
