Yesterday, #DeletePayPal was trending on Twitter. This is not an expression of solidarity with the Daily Sceptic, although PayPal’s attempt to close our account, along with that of the Free Speech Union and my personal account, seems to have been the beginning of the company’s recent difficulties. Rather, it is a response to a change to its Acceptable Use Policy that the company announced last week, whereby it was about to grant itself the right to fine customers $2,500 if they spread “misinformation” or offended members of various victim groups. By “fine” it meant help itself to $2,500 from its customers’ deposits, so, not surprisingly, many people decided to withdraw their funds and close their accounts. That, in turn, prompted PayPal to do a reverse ferret and announce that its message setting out the changes to its Acceptable Use Policy had been sent in “error”. Cue general hilarity, including this tweet from Brendan Carr, a Commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission: “@PayPal says its misinformation policy ‘went out in error’. Because who among us has not fat fingered a new, seven-page policy that would take away peoples’ money for publishing ‘misinformation’ – and then released that new policy on accident?”
I suspect many of PayPal’s customers won’t be reassured by this change of heart and will continue to be wary of the woke payment processor. Consequently, I thought it would be useful to reprint a guide to closing your account produced by BGR.
First things first: Make sure to withdraw any money you have remaining in your PayPal account before you get ready to close it. Click that link to learn how to do so — and then, once any lingering issues or balance is taken care of, here’s how you’ll delete your PayPal via the company’s website.
- Click the Settings icon, next to the words “Log out”.
- Click Close your account under “Account options”.
- Enter your bank account number if you’re asked to do.
- Finally, click Close Account.
If you want to delete your PayPal account from the app instead:
- First, log into the app.
- Click on the Profile icon in the upper-left corner.
- Scroll down until you see the option to Close your account.
- After tapping Close your account, next click on the Close Account button.
One final, important note: Any unpaid money requests are automatically canceled after closing your PayPal account. Also, you will lose any unused redemption codes or coupons.
Worth reading in full.
If you need further guidance, Tech Insider has produced a video guide.
Stop Press: A reader reports that when he tried to close his account he got a message saying: “We’re sorry, we’re not able to process your request right now. Please try again later.” I wonder if PayPal’s recent behaviour has produced the digital equivalent of a run on the bank and it cannot now return its customers deposits because it’s invested them in financial products it cannot now liquidate without incurring large losses? If anyone else is having difficulty closing their PayPal account, please contact us here.
Stop Press 2: PayPal’s stock is down 6%. Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge has more. The Zero Hedge Twitter account says: “Anyone caught shorting this woke payment platform will be fined $2500.”

Well done Sir.
His son has myocarditis post Darting. One of his son’s friend’s died post Stabs.
Hence his conversion.
He promoted the Stabs and if his son was healthy….he would still be promoting the stabs.
What I want to also hear is the money factor. How much money did he and other Quacks make pushing the drug-induced murders and mayhem? Were they given incentives by the $cience? Why would a Quack push drugs whose contents he can’t pronounce, name or describe?
Recent conversation with some work colleagues:
Colleague 1: My dad has covid, he keeps testing positive
Colleague 2: Has he been vaccinated?
Colleague 1: Yes, four times. I’ve just had covid too. I’ve been vaccinated twice
Me: I’ve not been vaccinated at all. I’m still alive and well.
Colleague 1: Are you one of those conspiracy people?
That’s entry level! To get to the next level in the game your colleagues have to accuse you of infecting them asymptomatically.
Lol. Fortunately I never have to be in their physical presence; probably they are looking into whether covid can be transmitted via Microsoft Teams
I’ve been compared to Hitler by one of them – does that count?
Yes! Under Godwin’s Law you have immediately won the round. Shuffle the data and re-deal. BTW, I saw in a shop window a board game called Contagion. You have to work co-operatively with the other players to defeat the killer virus before it wipes you all out!
“I saw in a shop window a board game called Contagion.”
Produced by the BMG Foundation presumably.
There should be a sceptics version where we work cooperatively with other players to defeat the killer vaccine before it wipes you all out, or perhaps where you work cooperatively with other sceptics to defeat killer covidians before they wipe us all out.
Oh, that gave me a chuckle. Thanks tof.
I’ve had something like this occurring in a circle of acquaintances. While this may seem funny on the outside, one has to realize that these people are victims of the system (or whatever one wants to call it): They’ve been brainwashed into taking a medicine which doesn’t help to counter a disease which isn’t dangerous to them and to accept that any side effects of this asinine procedure are just a fortunately only very small price they have to pay if they want to continue living on this planet.
Our beloved leaders are not supposed to abuse those who trust them in this way.
I’ve tried to engage with a few of them in the past but have generally given up now. Most people just can’t seem to hack having a logical discussion. Anyway I’m their boss so ending up ranting at them for being daft isn’t really on, much as I am tempted. Furthermore discussing the “vaccines” is even more problematic than the rest of the covid nonsense because you’re basically telling them they might get serious health problems. The whole business is very sad all round.
I don’t understand the downtick? Could he/she explain why?
Sometimes almost every post on an article gets downticked, which I imagine is the result of some non-sceptic trying to wind us up.
Pretty much everything I post receives a downtick, as this surely will. I have my own personal troll.
A very dear friend in her 80s has just been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer after having been a very healthy lady. She said she’s had 4/5 vaccines and never had Covid. Her son stopped taking the shots after 2 as he’d read up on them. I’m very sad for her but it would serve no useful purpose to engage her and her husband in any kind of discourse. They’re not stupid people, they just did as they were told.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
Don’t want to seem horrid but “just doing what you’re told” is a pretty good demonstration of stupidity when it involves taking an experimental medical treatment that has not been through the established safety trials, cooked up in a supposed “emergency” and where governments had to bully people into getting it. To be fully useful to oneself, “intelligence” needs to include the ability to spot when you’re being bullshitted, and to say no.
FWIW I probably wouldn’t engage them in any kind of discourse right now – unless they say they want more jabs.
I have to repeat this here:
Our beloved leaders are not supposed to abuse those who trust them in this way.
The reference to whoever is the current Kim Sonstwer of North Korea is absolutely intentional.
[Sonstwer is actually a German word and it means roughly Another of those of which there are too many to bother keeping track of then.]
Interesting that he feels he needs to make a public appeal via social media.
Has he tried the formal channels within his profession and they are non-responsive?
Who does he want to join forces with? Other doctors? The public?
What a sorry state the medical profession is in.
My guess is that his medical colleagues are unresponsive.
And yes, the medical profession is in a sorry state world wide.
A couple of years ago, my wife (a non-doctor) saw a GP for a small medical issue, realising that doctors should not treat their spouses.
The doctor did an inappropriate examination which actually caused my wife an injury.
She ordered a test, which was also inappropriate, then misinterpreted the results and prescribed an inappropriate drug as treatment.
My wife now swears she will never again go to a GP.
I provided a referral to the relevant specialist and the issue was sorted.
I believe it’s part of a video made by concerned doctors and sent to some suggest medical body who will most likely ignore it.
You’re a good man, Angus. Let’s pray that the trickle becomes a stream becomes a tsunami, and that never again will people be pressured, coerced or forced into being injected with something that they can never get rid of, often didn’t truly want, for which there was no long-term safety data!!!
He thinks it does not look like coincidence – does this now pass as evidence? It is no better than the lack of evidence about the vaccine safety before they were introduced.
Slightly O/T, but I do wonder if the effect on our immune systems from the lockdowns has been much more dramatic than we (here) might normally suggest, and a lot of the excess deaths is related to that. That might not explain cancer, but maybe it could?…It could certainly explain what’s happening in China right now, with people dying (or so we are told) with Covid that they have no natural immunity against.
I’ve had three pretty bad colds in the autumn/winter so far, and there are many others I know in the same boat (I went to the opera recently and the amount of coughing from the audience was much more noticeable than normal). I know two vaxxed people of similar age to me that have been very under the weather for 3-4 weeks (I’m not vaxxed), and I’m aware of many more in my wider circle (colleagues etc.,)

BTW I hope you have a video player where you can slow the playback to ~0.80 speed She talks way too fast! LOL
