As we hurtle towards a cashless economy, PayPal's abortive censorship of the FSU is part of a global trend to weaponise Big Tech to suppress dissent of every kind, which must be opposed at all costs.
In the latest episode of the Weekly Sceptic, the talking points are Rupa Huq's slur against Kwasi Kwarteng, von der Leyen’s 'tools' and the BBC’s laughable ‘mostly peaceful’ Leicester narrative.
At 5:30pm this evening, PayPal notified us that it has restored all three of the accounts it cancelled a couple of weeks ago and apologised. Needless to say we won't be using them again.

Forty two MPs, including a former leader of the Conservative Party, have written to the Business Secretary and the First Secretary of the Treasury urging them to do something about out-of-control, censorship-happy PayPal.
Why is it only the non-woke who are up in arms about PayPal’s censorship of the Daily Sceptic and the Free Speech Union? Thomas Prosser, an associate professor at Cardiff, explains why everyone should be concerned.
