Criticism erupting on social media forced them to change their mind!
The Daily Wire broke the news that Paypal was going to penalize users who promoted misinformation or 'present a risk to user safety or wellbeing.' It was set to go into effect November 3rd. But since then, Paypal released the following statement.
Quote:PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy.
At least two of the company's former leaders, including founder Elon Musk, took the proposed penalties suggested very seriously and pushed back on Twitter.

Elon Musk Wrote:Agreed.
